Last updated: 2/1/2023

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy O Kinetic energy and potential energy are synonymous they are defined as the capacity to do work actively putting matter into mo O Kinetic energy is stored energy and has the capacity to do work potential energy is expressed through motion O Kinetic energy is energy in action while potential energy is stored energy Kinetic energy may eventually become potential energy but potential energy cannot become kinetic energy
