Potential and Kinetic Energy
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Potential energy comes from an object's position, composition, or condition; kinetic energy comes from its motion.
Show
Water held behind a dam has potential energy that converts to kinetic energy as it falls and spins the turbines below.
Watch for
A substance's stored chemical energy counts as potential energy even while the substance itself sits perfectly still on a shelf.
