The potential energy is the type of energy posses by a cat lying in a sunny window.
What is kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion. It gives the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. To calculate kinetic energy
[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2}[/tex]
Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object which means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
Kinetic energy must always be either zero or a positive value.
Kinetic energy is not a vector.
What is potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others.
[tex]U = mgh[/tex]
Where,
[tex]U =[/tex]potential energy
[tex]m =[/tex]mass
[tex]h =[/tex]height
[tex]g =[/tex]acceleration due to gravity
It represents the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a particular position in a gravitational field.
The energy that a ball has when placed at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.
A cat lying in a sunny window is an example of potential energy as the sun energy is stored by cat.
