Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy
Hello. My name is Alesia Shambry. For today’s video, I’ll take you through potential energy and kinetic energy, and energy conversion from one type to another. According to Shuster et al. (2012, page 88), potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is moving energy or the energy of motion.
Now, I will hammer a nail into a wood block to demonstrate how potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Essentially, the hammer gains potential energy as I lift it. Subsequently, the potential energy from the hammer converts to kinetic energy when the hammer hits the nail. Notably, there are three key things to note about the hammering activity. First, raising the hammer gives it the maximum potential energy. Second, as I hit the nail with the hammer, potential energy converts to kinetic as I lower the hammer. Thirdly, another energy conversion occurs immediately after the hammer hits the nail, and the hammer gains potential energy again at rest.
That is it for today; thanks for watching.

Question 
Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy
For this assignment, you will pick two different types of energy that were discussed in the lecture, define the two types of energy, and demonstrate by using items shown me in the video with the items, how it can go from one energy type to the other, make sure you explain to me what is going on ( for example when you are doing _____ in the video, which energy is it currently doing) (Basic do the assignment but tell the two energy types and how to use them and what material I need to complete the assignment such as a picture or a video or anything.
