What is velocity?
200
An apple hanging from a tree branch exhibits this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
200
This is defined as how fast something moves, or how far it moves in a given amount of time.
What is speed?
300
All objects in motion have kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy a moving object possesses depends on these two factors.
What are mass and speed?
