Describe how you determine if an object has kinetic or potential energy

objects in move has Kinetic energy

Objects who does not move have only potential energy

Explanation:

E=Ek+Ep

Ek kinetic energy

Ep-potential gravitational energy

Ek =mV²/2

Ep=mGh

If object moves has speed .

if object does not move speed is 0.Mechanical energy is : E=Ek+Ep

if V=0

E=Ep

if object is moving E=Ek

explanation: in any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called brownian motion). as a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance).

explanation:

have a great day!
