What are the differences between the energy of motion (kinetic energy), stored energy
(potential energy) and how does energy transformation connect these two energy
forms?
How is energy transfer different from energy transformation, and what examples are
there of energy transfer in this activity?

What are the differences between the kinetic energy of an object and the random
kinetic energy of the particles that make up the object (heat energy)?
