    Which of the following best describes the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

    • Kinetic energy is stored energy, while potential energy is energy of motion.

    • Kinetic energy increases as an object is raised higher, while potential energy decreases.

    • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position.

    • Both kinetic and potential energy are types of energy that only exist when an object is moving.

    Correct Answer
    A. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position.
    Explanation
    Kinetic energy refers to the energy an object has because of its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it possesses. In contrast, potential energy is stored energy that an object has due to its position or state. For example, an object held at a height has gravitational potential energy, which increases with height. When the object falls, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Thus, kinetic energy is associated with movement, while potential energy is based on position or condition.

    Decide whether this has kinetic or potential

    • KINETIC

    • POTENTIAL

    Correct Answer
    A. POTENTIAL
    Explanation
    The correct answer is potential because potential energy refers to the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition. In this case, the given question is asking to determine whether the object has kinetic or potential energy, and the correct answer is potential energy.

    Potential energy is the energy of an object because of it's position (resting or waiting). It is also called possible energy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Potential energy is indeed the energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration. This energy is stored and can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, when the object is in motion. Therefore, it is correct to say that potential energy is the energy of an object because of its position or state of rest.

    Which of the following objects has the most kinetic energy?

    • A parked car

    • A bowling ball rolling down a lane 

    • A book resting on a shelf 

    • A bird perched on a tree branch

    Correct Answer
    A. A bowling ball rolling down a lane 
    Explanation
    Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The faster an object moves and the more mass it has, the more kinetic energy it possesses. The bowling ball is moving and has significant mass, giving it more kinetic energy than the stationary car, book, or perched bird.
