Describe how you determine if an object has kinetic or potential energy

Answer: objects in move has Kinetic energy

Objects who does not move have only potential energy

Explanation:

E=Ek+Ep

Ek kinetic energy

Ep-potential gravitational energy

Ek = mV²/2

Ep=mGh

If object moves has speed.

if object does not move speed is 0. Mechanical energy is : E=Ek+Ep

if V=0

E=Ep

if object is moving E=Ek
