Potential and Kinetic Energy
All types of energy can fall into two categories: potential energy and kinetic energy.
Watch the video below and answer the following questions in your exercise book:
- What is kinetic energy? Explain.
- What is potential energy? Explain.
- In pairs, categorise the 9 forms of energy you learnt in the previous video into either Kinetic or Potential energy. Explain your choice.
