What kind of energy does the book have as it falls? Where did the book get the energy to fall? Before we answer this questions, Don't forget to join one of our membership programs , your support helps us keep going Kinetic and Potential Energy One way that scientists talk about energy is to classify energy as kinetic or potential energy. Objects have kinetic energy if they are in motion. so what is the Potential energy ? Potential energy is possible, or stored, energy. While you hold the book, it has potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy or the energy of position. The word potential means that something is possible. In other words, potential energy means that an object is ready to do work or to be active When you let go and it falls on your foot, the book is moving and has kinetic energy. we learned that Energy is the ability to do work . Energy makes things happen. If there were no energy on Earth, nothing would get done. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The word kinetic means that something is moving. In other words, kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving. look to this child a child at the top of a ground slide has a potential energy when the child moves down a long the slide the potential energy changes into kinetic energy any stopped object on the earth's surface has no energy , while any stopped object at a height from has a potential energy and can be changed to a kinetic energy you are excellent in the next video we will start with the 3rd lesson , types of Energy Please Like and Subscribe to my channel and click the bell icon to get new video
