Potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion through the various positions in relation to the bodies involved.
<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>
This law states that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum and is denoted as F = mv where m is mass and v is velocity.
Potential energy is the energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its position while kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Both forms of energy are influenced by forces and are equal to the total momentum.
