GENYRE = ENERGY. What is Energy?

Kinetic energy is motion energy.
Potential energy is energy stored in matter.

In strict scientific terms energy is classified into two main forms: kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object. A thrown football, a speeding automobile, a waterfall, or a rock falling from a cliff are examples of objects that have kinetic energy.

Potential energy appears in many different forms, and is defined as the energy in matter due to its position or the arrangement of its parts. The various forms of potential energy include gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, chemical potential energy, and electrical potential energy.

Potential Energy is often referred to as stored energy. Some scientists avoid use of the word “stored” because it inaccurately depicts energy as a substance that is contained within a substance. In other words, some scientists and energy educators believe saying energy is “stored” is a misconception.  Source: KEEP K-12 Energy Education Program.

The way to get the most out of this forum should not be based around containing your Potential Energy but instead by providing your insights & comments. This will ultimately provide the Kinetic Energy to keep the conversation & education process moving for all of us. Enjoy!
