Kinematics
A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…
Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem
In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Kinetic energy is the object’s energy due to its motion. Potential energy of an object is its stored energy due to its interactions with other objects.

Kinetic energy is the object’s energy due to its motion. Potential energy is the stored energy that is due to interactions between objects.

For example, generation of electricity from a hydroelectric dam. The movement of the turbine is due to the stored potential energy of the water and turbine’s kinetic energy to produce electricity. Therefore, the change caused by kinetic energy is generation of electricity and the change caused by potential energy is the movement of the turbine.

Conclusion: The generation of electricity through a hydroelectric dam is an example of change caused by kinetic energy as well as a change that involves potential energy.
