In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
The similarities and differences between kinetic and potential energy. Differences. Potential energy is stored energy in an object or system. Kinetic energy is when the object is in motion. Potential energy can not be transferred. Kinetic energy could be transferred. Potential energy is not relative to an objects environment. Kinetic energy is relative to other moving and stationary objects in its main environment.
