Summary:

        Potential energy is energy that is stored by something and it is when the energy is not being used yet and the object is not in motion. Kinetic energy is energy that is the energy of motion and it is when something is moving and is no longer potential energy. Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when the object stats to go into motion and when the stored energy that the object had is released. Energy can not be formed of destroyed but it can change form according to the law of conservation of energy. The unit that you have to use while talking about energy is joules and to find potential energy you would be the objects weight times the height. To find kinetic energy you would have to do 0.5 times the mass times the speed squared.

S&EP: SP1:

        This week we had to ask what the difference between kinetic and potential energy is and how to make one into the other. We found that potential is just the stored and the possible energy while kinetic energy is when the object is moving and the potential energy is released. To potential energy into kinetic energy you have to get the object to releases the potential energy aka move the object and put it into motion. One example is when a rock is on the side of a cliff but it has not fallen or rolled down but if it got pushed and rolled or fell down then it would be kinetic energy while it is in motion.
