What are some examples of both kinetic and potential energy?

In: Science, Physics, Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Any fluid/object in motion possesses Kinetic energy. Energy stored in an object/fluid due to its height is known as Potential energy. Water stored up in dam has potential energy and when it is allowed to flow downhill it possesses kinetic energy. Pendulum is also a good example to demonstrate both kinetic and potential energy. The total quantum of energy in this universe remains constant.
