Title: Briefly describe the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy, and Post by: colleen on Aug 16, 2012 Briefly describe the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy, and give an example of each.
Title: Re: Briefly describe the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy, and Post by: bio_man on Aug 17, 2012 Kinetic energy is the energy of motion (examples include heat, light, electricity, a car moving), and potential energy is stored energy (examples include energy in chemical bonds, batteries, child sitting at the top of a slide).
