Let us learn some vocabulary
What is Energy?

What is Energy?
Energy
the ability to cause change.

Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy—Energy of Motion
energy due to motion. Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. All moving
objects have kinetic energy. The faster an object
Potential Energy moves, the more kinetic energy it has. If two objects
stored energy due to the interactions between move at the same speed, the object with more mass
objects or particles. has more kinetic energy.
