Learning Objective
I can differentiate between potential and kinetic energy in chemical systems.
- 1
Kinetic energy is the energy of objects currently in motion, while potential energy is the energy stored inside an object with the potential to move or change.
- 2
Mechanical energy is the energy of motion, and it has two parts: kinetic and potential.
- 3
Energy exists in many different forms, including thermal, light, sound, electrical, chemical, and mechanical.
