If the total energy of a system is 10 Joules and the kinetic energy of the system is 7 Joules, what is the potential energy of the system?

Flashcard 3 - Physics Flashcard Set for the HESI Exam

3 Joules

The total energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy.

So here, the total energy is 10, and the kinetic energy is 7.

\(10 - 7 = 3\) Joules of potential energy.
