Hey so this is me with another blog post. So today I'm going to be talking about potential and kinetic energy. So potential energy is basically when the energy when an object is not moving and kinetic energy is when an object is moving. Also energy is never created nor destroyed just changes form, also known as the conservation of energy. This means that if the potential energy of the football is something, that means that when it is thrown, over time, the potential energy will turn to kinetic energy, because its in motion. So the energy will always be the same, as long as it stays in the air. Once the ball lands, the energy is changed and when it is thrown again, there may be a different amount of energy. So this is basically energy. Sorry if it's a little confusing and grammatically incorrect. It takes a lot of understanding to fully get it. So enjoy this, I hope you learned something new and now you can say that I learned about energy.Sunday, December 4, 2011

This was a good explanation of kinetic energy. It's good that you explained how potential can be changed to kinetic... very clear understanding. ;)
ReplyDeleteI could understand it, so don't worry! Energy sounds so easy when you explain it now. You explained it really well--energy is conserved.
ReplyDeleteGood blog. You defined energy very well.
ReplyDeleteI feel like sports is always the easiest example to use to relate to physics (: good job.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE THE TITLE A LOT!!!!
ReplyDeletethis was a good sports application to physics!
good blog and very relatable...
