Question

What is kinetic energy and potential energy of an object?

Answer 1

Kinetic Energy:- The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.

Kinetic energy of an objec with mass $m$ and velocity $V$,

$K=\frac{1}{2}m{V}^2$

Potential energy:-Potential energy is the energy stored within an object, due to the object's position, arrangement or state. Potential energy is one of the two main forms of energy

Potential energy of an object of mass $m$ at a height $h$,

$P=mgh$
