Describe how you determine if an object has kinetic or potential energy

objects in move has Kinetic energy

Objects who does not move have only potential energy

Explanation:

E=Ek+Ep

Ek kinetic energy

Ep-potential gravitational energy

Ek =mV²/2

Ep=mGh

If object moves has speed .

if object does not move speed is 0.Mechanical energy is : E=Ek+Ep

if V=0

E=Ep

if object is moving E=Ek

they should be similar or the same

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
