Racers

POTENTIAL ENERGY

This is the energy of position.  Here the racers are ready at the starting line, foot on the mark, getting set to run.  Muscles are ready!

"Ready, on your mark, get set!"

KINETIC ENERGY



This is the energy of motion.  With the first step, the racers have begun using Kinetic Energy.  Then, with each footstep, the cycle of Potential Energy - Kinetic Energy is repeated over and over.

                                                        "Go!"
