👉 In physics, an energetic quantity is a physical quantity that exhibits energy properties. These quantities can be either kinetic or potential in nature. Kinetic energies are associated with objects that move through space and time, such as cars, airplanes, and trains. Potential energies are associated with objects at rest, like the weight of a person on Earth. In terms of energy, these quantities represent the ability to do work, which is essentially doing work when an object does work against another object or force. The term
