1. Energy can be divided into two main categories: kinetic and potential.
2. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion.
3. Potential energy is stored energy in an object due to its position or shape.
4. Kinetic energy is more useful than potential energy because it can be converted into other forms of energy, such as electrical, heat, sound, etc.
5. Potential energy is not very useful on its own but can be used to do work, like moving a car down the road.
