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.
An object has kinetic energy when itâs in motion. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and speed. Potential energy, on the other hand, is a stored energy when an object is at rest. It describes how much work the object could do if set into motion. Itâs an energy we can generally control. When an object is set into motion, its potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.
