potential+energy

Potential Energy is the opposite of Kinetic Energy. Potential Energy stored in an object awing work. A good example of Potential energy is when pitcher is about to pitch a ball or when a book is about to fall off of a shelf. Or a ball at its highest point. A X-pult about to be launch is another example when it is about to be launched.


 * Potential Energy **

It is stored, or about to released. For me, a rubber band is a good example. If you stretch the band, it creates resistance, or stored energy. If you release it, it becomes Kinetic Energy because it starts to fly threw the air. It can also become half and half which is called Mechanical Energy.
