Is that the energy that
moving objects possess?
Right~ W's the force that the
moving objects have.
‘Wow, energy also occurs when we are moving!
So that means there is more energy while we are
running than when we are walking.
(Ok! The faster an object moves,
the higher amount of power it creates.
‘Aha~.So what thing has kinetic
energy?
It's the same as potential energy,
Where the height of the object
influences the amount of energy.
‘An electronic fan converts electronic energy into
kinetic energy. This kinetic energy can be seen as the
wings of the fan turns,
Look around you, there are many things that
uses kinetic and potential energy.
