yes, yes it is
Like any food, it has a calorific value, but this will only be used if the food is digested by a living being. It is really potential chemical energy, and your stomach and guts are the reactor which extracts this potential to fuel your body.
Yes. Basically, the energy in food is chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
"Stored" is another form of potential energy. You can burn the food to release the potential energy. It is potential, because the food is not a source of kinetic energy until it is in a food fight.
No, it is kinetic energy
Gravitational force is considered potential energy, E= -GmM/r.
Yes. That is the definition for potential energy.
Yes. It potential chemical energy.
Potential energy that is important in practice includes: * Gravitational potential energy * Elastic energy * Chemical energy (including food energy) * Nuclear energy
Potential energy is stored energy capable of doing work. Since energy is general comes from the food we eat, so does potential energy.
This is referred to as conservation of energy
