Potential energy is that energy which an object
has because of its position. It is called
potential energy because it has the potential to
be converted into other forms of energy, such as
kinetic energy.
Definition: Potential energy is energy that is
stored in a system because of it’s position or
chemistry.

When you lift up a yo-yo, its position is altered. It now has the ability (or potential) to do work.
When the position of an object is altered, its energy changes to Potential
Energy.

Rubber Bands and a Target?

Stretching a rubber band. -Stores energy
Water at the top of a waterfall. -Stores energy
Yo–Yo held in your hand. -Stores energy because of position
Drawing back a Bow. -Stores energy because of position

Wood
Coal
Oil
Gas

Take that pile of wood. Let’s make a fire.
So – How is
this wood an
example of
potential
energy?
![Page 9: Kinetic and Potential Energy · 2013-12-12 · Potential energy is that energy which an object has because of its position.It is called potential energy because it has the potential](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070722/5f01d6d37e708231d4014a4c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Imagine you are next to that fire. You get warm and the logs change
from wood to ash (it’s a chemical reaction - remember that?)
But how does wood have potential energy?
Wood has stored energy that is released when burned. What is stored
energy called again?
Stored energy =
potential
energy!!
![Page 10: Kinetic and Potential Energy · 2013-12-12 · Potential energy is that energy which an object has because of its position.It is called potential energy because it has the potential](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070722/5f01d6d37e708231d4014a4c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When stored energy begins to move, the object now transfers from potential energy
into kinetic energy.
Standing still Running

Definition: Kinetic Energy is energy in motion or the energy of a moving
object.

Running
Wood Burning
Rock Falling

Back to that fire…
When the wood is burning it is releasing that stored energy, that
release energy is known as Kinetic Energy!
Released energy
= Kinetic energy!!

Shooting a rubber band.
Water falling over the fall.
A Yo-Yo in motion.
Releasing the arrow from the bow.

Let’s go through some ideas:
Imagine being at the bowling alley, holding a bowling ball. It has potential energy. When I release the SAME ball down the bowling alley, it now has kinetic energy.
Remember: Energy can be transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy.
