Potential energy is energy that's stored and awaiting activation, while kinetic energy is energy in action. Think of a lightbulb – it possesses potential energy when it's off and waiting to illuminate, but when it's switched on and producing light, it's exhibiting kinetic energy. Similarly, a yoyo at rest, poised to bounce, represents potential energy, while a yoyo in motion, bouncing up and down, demonstrates kinetic energy. This worksheet serves as a valuable tool for students to grasp the concepts of both kinetic and potential energy, aiding them in understanding how energy can transition between these two states.
