Is a leaping frog potential or kinetic energy?

A leaping frog is an example of kinetic energy. Before the jump, the frog contains potential energy. When it jumps, the potential energy converts to energy of motion, otherwise known as kinetic energy.


What are the energy transformations in a power plant?

The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy


Can potential energy be transformed?

Yes. Stand on a table and jump off. That converts your potential energy into kinetic energy.
