Forms of Energy — Kinetic and Potential

[Verse]

Energy's the ability to do work, that's the definition plain,

Kinetic's the energy of motion, anything moving's got some to claim.

Half times mass times velocity squared, that's the kinetic formula tight,

Faster it moves or heavier it is, more kinetic energy in flight.

Potential energy's stored up, waiting, ready to be set free,

Height above the ground times mass times gravity, that's the PE.

A ball held up high got potential, resting, waiting on the drop,
