"Things" can contain just about any type of energy, depending on the situation: kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, electric potential energy, magnetic potential energy, elastic energy, nuclear energy, heat energy, etc.
Thermal energy is not the energy stored by things that stretch or compress. This type of energy applies to strain potential energy. Thermal energy refers to motion energy due to the random vibration of atoms or molecules within an object.
elastic potential energy
The potential energy is 147 joules.
Potential energy is often referred to as energy based on position but this is not totally true, for example electrical energy for instance has a position but it is still not potential but it is kinetic. This is because electrical energy is moving. Potential energy is actually referred to as energy that has the potential to move. For example, a boulder at the tip of a cliff. That boulder has the potential to move and fall off the cliff but it hasn't. Once it has however, its potential energy will be spent up turning the potential energy into kinetic. Types of Potential Energy: Nuclear: The Nucleus of an atom Chemical: Chemical bonds holding atoms together Elastic: A rubber band that is stretched out (I maybe wrong for this to be a type of potential energy)Thermal: Something heating up or cooling down.

An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
I only know of two: 1)potential energy to kinetic energy 2)potential energy to gravitational potential energy
Kinetic energy is the energy that make things move. They are known as the "Movement Energy". Potential energy is the energy stored in object, waiting to be used.
chemical potential energy
Several things, depending on the type of potential energy. Gravitational potential energy: Any object that is above the chosen reference level (often the ground level) has positive potential energy. Anything below the chosen reference level has negative potential energy. Elastic potential energy: For example, a compressed spring. Chemical energy: For example, hydrogen and oxygen separately have a higher energy level than when they combine into water.

Potential energy, or tension.
elastic potential energy
The potential energy is 147 joules.
They are two completely different things. Light energy is electromagnetic waves. (EM). Potential energy is the energy stored within matter.
