Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about energy in school and I'm a bit confused about potential energy. Can you explain it to me?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position or state. For example, if you lift a ball up high, it has potential energy because it's higher up and can fall down.<|im_end|>

So, what happens to the potential energy when the ball falls?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
When the ball falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. So, as the ball falls, it gains speed and its potential energy turns into kinetic energy.<|im_end|>

That makes sense, thank you for explaining it to me!<|im_end|>

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clarify potential energy for you.<|im_end|>
