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.
Potential energy is the stored energy an object has because of its position or state. A bicycle on top of a hill, a book held over your head, and a stretched spring all have potential energy. How is it different from kinetic energy? Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
