Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kinetic energy refers to the energy an object possesses due to its motion. As stored energy is released and the object begins to move or perform work, it gains kinetic energy. Potential energy refers to the energy an object has due to its position or composition, and electrical work and force production refer specifically to the types of work being performed but do not encompass the release of stored energy in general.
