I know the formulae,but really don't understand the difference
That is the difference.Shardul Khare said:I know the formulae
A pea and an express train may be traveling at the same 'speed' but you know which one has more KE. What is the essential difference between to two projectiles?Shardul Khare said:I know the formulae,but really don't understand the difference
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, usually measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
Kinetic energy and speed are directly proportional to each other. This means that as the speed of an object increases, its kinetic energy also increases.
No, an object must have some form of motion in order to possess kinetic energy. However, the speed of the object can be very small and still have kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state. Kinetic energy is associated with the movement of an object, while potential energy is associated with the potential for movement.
