Potential energy is energy at rest. Kinetic energy is energy of an object in motion. Work is using energy or effort to complete a task. They apply to the Law of Conservation of Energy because it is the different forms that energy can go through. THe law states that energy can change forms, but not be created or destroyed. Those are some of the forms it can be and work is what energy produces.

Potential energy is energy at rest. Kinetic energy is in something that is in motion. And Work is using energy to get something done. The Law of Conversation of Energy because it goes through different forms of energy. The Law wis that energy can change is form but it can't be created or destroyed.

They are all energy, and potential is when its at rest, and kenetic is when the object is in motion, the work that is applied to the Law of Conservation of Energy bc it has different forms that energy can go through. Thats what i think anyways.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion, while Potential is at rest. Work is using this energy to do stuff. The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy can't be created or destroyed, but it can transfer to other objects. An object that has kinetic energy may turn to potential energy.

Kinetic energy is energy of an object in motion and moving. Potential energy is energy that is at rest and not moving. This applies to the law fo conservation os energy by the different forms that evnergy can have but if never can be created or destroyed just change forms.

Potential energy is energy that is at rest. Kinetic energy is energy that is moving in an object. Work is using your energy to do something. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be either created or destroyed.

Potential is at rest. Kinetic energy is energy in motion Work is using this energy to do things. The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy can not be created or destroyed but it can transfer to other objects.
