🤾♂️🎢 🏌️♂️Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are many forms of energy, but two main types of energy that are easy to understand are kinetic energy and potential energy. 🎢1. Kinetic Energy 📓- Definition: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy. - Examples: - A running dog - A rolling ball - A flying airplane - Fun Fact: The faster something moves, the more kinetic energy it has! 🏌️♂️2. Potential Energy 📓- Definition: Potential energy is stored energy. It has the potential to do work but isn’t doing anything at the moment. - Examples: - A book on a high shelf (it has potential energy because it can fall) - A stretched rubber band (it can snap back) - Water held behind a dam (it can flow down when released) - Fun Fact: The higher something is, the more potential energy it has! 👉📚 Summary📚 - Kinetic Energy: Energy of moving objects. - Potential Energy: Stored energy waiting to be used. 👉Both types of energy are important and can often transform from one to the other. For example, when you drop a ball, it has potential energy at the top and converts to kinetic energy as it falls! #colorfullearning #kineticenergy #potentialenergy #facts #energydensity #energyforkids #sciencefacts #science #learning #learnscience #scienceathome #sciencelearning
