This presentation by Liam and Meghan explores the fundamentals of potential and kinetic energy, two critical concepts in physics. Potential energy is described as the energy stored in a body or system based on its position or arrangement, exemplified by a piece of wood before it falls. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion, illustrated by examples like a rollercoaster descending or a book falling from a desk. Discover how these two types of energy interact and their significance in understanding physical systems.

Potential andKineticEnergy Presentation By: Liam and Meghan
Potential Energy • This is the definition of potential energy. • Noun Physics . the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system • Potential energy is energy at rest or energy that is waiting to be released like, a piece of wood is an example of potential energy and then when it falls it is kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy • This is the definition of kinetic energy: • [ki-net-ik, kahy-] Show IPA –adjective 1. pertaining to motion. 2. caused by motion. 3. characterized by movement: Running and dancing are kinetic activities. • Kinetic energy is like a rollercoaster going downn a hill or a book falling off a desk, kinetic energy is an object at motion
