How does potential energy become kinetic energy?

• When something hot touches something cool, the potential energy in the hot object is turned into kinetic energy

• When an outside force acts upon an object with potential energy, that force turns the potential energy into kinetic energy

• Potential energy becomes kinetic when an object remains in place and continues to build up more and more energy

• Potential energy has no relation to kinetic energy
