Which of the following statements most accurately differentiate potential and kinetic energy

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Gravitational potential energy is a form of mechanical energy, while kinetic energy is not. B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, while any object not in motion but with the potential to do work has kinetic energy. C. Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy, while gravitational potential energy is not. D. Any object that has motion has kinetic energy, while any object not in motion but with the potential to do work has potential energy

Any object that has motion has kinetic energy, while any object not in motion but with the potential to do work has potential energy: -most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy.

Which of the following statements differentiates potential energy from kinetic energy?

The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that one is the energy of what can be and one is the energy of what is. In other words, potential energy is stationary, with stored energy to be released; kinetic energy is energy in motion, actively using energy for movement.

What are 3 differences between potential and kinetic energy?

The ability of the body to exert a push or a pull against natural forces like gravity identifies what kind of energy it is. When an object is at rest, the body is said to possess potential energy. In another case, when the object is in motion, then it is said to possess kinetic energy.
