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.
Just to clarify as some of the answers above only refer to Gravitational Potential. Potential and Kinetic are the two main types. Kinetic energy is the moving energy of something. This could be movement in heat, sound, vibration, or generally movement. Potential Energy is the stored energy giving something the potential move, due to it being in the vicinity of a force field. This force field may not necessarily be gravitation, but also electromagnetic, strong or weak. Types of energy: 1. Mechanical (potential & kinetic) 2. Heat 3. Radiation (incl.
