Mission 1
Potential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the
gravitational field
Examples of Potential Energy
A car parked at the top of a hill
A boulder sitting at the top of a mountain.
Water behind a dam
Pressure in an un-opened soda bottle, gas cylinder, etc.
A truck stuffed with explosives.
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. It is also referred to as energy in motion, or as the
work required to take an object from being at rest to action/movement.
Examples of Kinetic Energy
A planet rotating around the sun
A moving vehicle
Water flowing in a river or falling down a waterfall
Electrons moving about a nucleus
A person walking or running
An airplane flying
A person swimming
A crawling baby
