2 Forms of Energy –Kinetic and Potential. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is movement energy This is energy that is being used for movement right now. Potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy. This is energy that could be used in the future, but isn’t being used right now.

Kinetic energy • Kinetic energy is movement energy • This is energy that is being used for movement right now.
Potential energy • Potential energy is stored energy. • This is energy that could be used in the future, but isn’t being used right now.
Potential and kinetic The sum of the kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy • Most different types of energy can be classified as either kinetic energy, potential energy, or both.
Potential and kinetic • Potential energy can turn into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy can turn into potential energy. • This means that kinetic and potential energy are cyclic.
