Potential energy is as name suggest is the energy stored in system itself.But here you are talking of which form of potential energy,as it has various forms like::- 1.) Gravitaional potential energy 2.)Electrostatic potential energy 3.) Magnetostatic potential energy ...........etc..

I cannot show you a picture, but one example of potential energy changing to kinetic is a roller coaster. When you are going up the track, you are building potential energy and as you go down, it is kinetic energy. I am sure you could find a picture of that somewhere. Hope that helped at least a little!

Most forms of energy don't "look like" very much. In the case of gravitational potential energy, if an object is in an elevated position, you can conclude that it has potential energy. To know how much, you would also have to know its mass, and the gravity. On Earth, you may assume 9.82 for the gravity, but you still need to know its mass.

In the case of elastic potential energy, you can have (for example) a compressed spring. The compressed spring looks different than when it is not compressed; but you have to see it both before and afterward, to notice the difference.

Any energy an object acquires when it costs work to move it against a gravitational field, electric field, or magnetic field. Also, when moving it against the force of a spring.

Assuming that no energy gets converted to/from other types of energy, only between potential and kinetic energy, then every time the potential energy goes up, the kinetic energy goes down - and vice versa. The exact details of HOW the graph goes up and down vary, depending on the situation, but the two curves are related as explained.

i dont no,but lightning is an energy you can see.when there is a storm and lightning comes down and hits a tree its likely to burn or,go on fire.and fire is a sourece of energy. :)

We can't do pictures on this site. If you want pictures of nuclear power plants, you will find some on the NRC website, www. nrc.gov

When you hold a book energy is stored between the book and the earth what kind of potiental energy is that?

The potential energy stored between the book and the Earth when you hold it is gravitational potential energy. This energy is due to the gravitational force between the book and the Earth, with the book being at a height above the ground. When you release the book, this potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the book falls towards the Earth.
