How is potential energy similar to kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Mass

Kinetic energy = 1/2 · mass ∙velocity2

Potential energy = mass ∙ (acceleration due to gravity) ∙ height

Mass is common to both

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. The faster an object (mass) is moving; the more Kinetic energy is has.

Potential energy is the energy due to position. The higher an object (mass) is off the earth's surface, the more Potential energy it has.fcfytrdddrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrtdjgrfxnzsdfcxzdfgv dorkk

Answer 2

They are both forms of energy, and both are measured in Joules. They are each convertible to the other.

Potential energy usually refers to a situation where doing something will liberate kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy can be used to create potential energy, such as by charging a battery, raising a weight, stretching or compressing a spring, etc.

Answer 3

They can be converted into each other and that's about it.

Answer 4

It has the ability to make objects do work, i.e. it has the ability to make objects move.

Answer 5

They can be measured the same way in Joules (a unit of energy) and clearly they both contain energy.

Answer 6

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy for an object is constant.

Answer 7

it had been pued

Answer 8

I'm guessing...the can both do work.
