Hello, fifth graders. It is Elizabeth here, and I want to talk to you about mechanical energy.

2
00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:16,670
What is that? Well, mechanical energy has kinetic energy and potential energy.

3
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:25,670
But really, what is mechanical energy? So mechanical energy is the energy that produces

4
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:36,969
is movement. All right, how many types are there? There's two types, kinetic and potential.

5
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:47,450
So all you have to remember is movement, two types, kinetic and potential. Now, what are those?

6
00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:54,950
So now we're going to talk about what they are. Kinetic energy is energy in the form of movement.

7
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:58,409
We all know what movement is, right?

8
00:00:58,409 --> 00:01:00,710
This is kinetic energy.

9
00:01:01,869 --> 00:01:06,349
But if I was standing in a tree,

10
00:01:06,349 --> 00:01:08,849
I would have potential energy.

11
00:01:08,849 --> 00:01:12,829
And now I will explain to you why.

12
00:01:12,829 --> 00:01:15,450
Kinetic energy, a good example of this

13
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,549
would be riding your bicycle.

14
00:01:18,849 --> 00:01:23,400
Or when you throw a baseball.

15
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,019
So that, why the ball is moving,

16
00:01:27,019 --> 00:01:30,420
that's kinetic energy, making it move.

17
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:35,219
And then another example in nature would be moving water.
