Kinetic and Potential Energy
Mario comes to the Koopa King’s lair where the princess lay
“To save the princess, you must make use of kinetic energy,” says the koopa king
Mario- “This monster I shall slay!”
Koopa King- “Go ahead, take a swing!”
Mario sees a large rock on the floor
“I know that potential energy isn’t in motion,
So that means that kinetic energy is needed to move the ore!”
Mario threw the rock and ended the commotion
and alas, the Koopa King is no more!
The princess is now free
And all the land is safe!
-----Kinetic energy is energy in motion
while potential energy has the
potential to be put in motion.
-----Potential energy can store energy
for later use.
-----Kinetic energy is helpful to us
because it is the thing that causes
things to move. Without it,
everything would always be
stationary.
