Types include gravitational potential energy and electric potential energy. The amount of potential energy in a system depends on the distance between the interacting objects. When the distance between two attracting objects increases, the potential energy stored in the system increases. When the distance between two repelling objects increases, the potential energy stored in the system decreases.

The amount of potential energy depends on the objects' relative positions. If two objects attract gravitationally or electrically, potential energy increases as they get farther apart. If two objects repel electrically, potential energy increases as they get closer. Elastic and chemical potential energy are fundamentally the result of electric potential energy at the particle level.

How much kinetic energy an object has depends on two factors: the mass of the object, and the speed of the object. We can analyze data to determine how kinetic energy depends on these two factors separately. If we keep the object's speed constant and increase its mass, the object's kinetic energy increases in a linear pattern. If we keep the object's mass constant and increase its speed, the object's kinetic energy increases in a nonlinear pattern.
