kinetic energy vs potential energy
Definitions
noun
- the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion
Examples
The Insight steers anaesthetically but adequately, is a touch choppy over bumps, and brakes firmly and naturally even though up to 60 per cent of braking effort comes from the regenerative braking which uses the absorption of kinetic energy to recharge the battery via the motor.
When you picked up the clip with the magnet the clip was accelerated toward the magnet acquiring kinetic energy.
This paper studies on the law of the kinetic energy correction factor near a groyne by a flume experiment basing on one dimensional energy equation of steady flow.
Definitions
noun
- the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its position; stored energy
Examples
The analytical solutions of the Poisson equation in toroidal coordinates are, unfortunately, very complicated and it is not possible to extract the [epsilon] dependence of the potential energy of an ion from them.
The third property of a polymer which affects its mechanical behaviour is the between-chain potential energy.
Energy in the form of work would have to be imparted to the object by an external force in order for it to gain this height and the corresponding potential energy.
