Answer:
Moving objects, without friction, represent a constant transformation between potential and kinetic energy.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. All moving things have kinetic energy, and the faster they’re moving the more energy they have.
What is potential energy?
Potential energy is a little more difficult to envision. It is the energy that is stored because of the position of an object. The potential energy we’ll be discussing here is stored because of the forces of gravity at work (there are other types of potential energy, but not that are used in Chaos). When you move an object upward on Earth, it gains potential energy. The higher an object is, the more force it will be able to fall with if let go. In other words, potential energy is the amount of kinetic energy that could be gained if the object traveled all the way to the ground.
Let’s look at a couple of examples of potential and kinetic energy.
