Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, depending on mass and velocity, while gravitational potential energy is stored energy due to an object position in a gravitational field, depending on mass and height.

Why does kinetic energy depend on velocity squared?

The kinetic energy formula squares velocity because energy required to accelerate an object increases disproportionately with speed, meaning doubling velocity quadruples kinetic energy, not just doubles it.

What does conservation of energy mean in this context?

In an idealized system without friction or air resistance, total mechanical energy, the sum of kinetic and potential energy, remains constant as an object falls or rises, converting between the two forms.
