This does not happen in potential energy. The kinetic energy of a body with the mass âmâ moving at a velocity âvâ is one half the products of the mass of the body and the square of its velocity. i.e., K.E. = (1/2) * m * v2. The average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules is measured by the temperature of the body.
A: Kinetic and potential energy are both typically ascribed as forms of mechanical energy and can be interchangeably converted. Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa, but the change is always accompanied by the dissipation of some energy as heat.
