Which statements describe kinetic and potential energy? Check all that apply. Energy can be stored in the position of an object. Energy is not present in a moving object. Energy can be stored in the position of the particles that make up a substance. Energy exists as movement of the particles of a substance. Energy is greater in faster-moving particles than in slower-moving particles. Energy is lower in objects with greater mass than in objects with less mass.

Kinetic enery is the energy that exists as movement of the particles of a substance. This energy would be greater in faster-moving particles as compared to slower-moving particles. Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy that can be stored in the position of an object and in the position of the particles that make up a substance. Kinetic energy and potential energy are affected by the mass of an object. It is directly related so that the greater the mass the greater the energy would be present in the object and the smaller the mass, the smaller the amount of the energy present.
