Candy is a lump of edible substances comprised mostly of sugar.
-- The chemical energy in the sugar can be released by your body's
metabolism if you put the candy inside.
-- If, instead of that, you put the candy on a high shelf, then it has
potential energy.
-- Alternatively, if you throw or drop the candy, then as long as it's moving,
it has kinetic energy.

Is a book falling down from a high shelf kinetic or potential energy?
It's neither. It's just a piece of fruit. While it's hanging and not moving, it has gravitational potential energy because of its position, and food potential energy because of its chemical composition. When it separates from the tree and moves to a different location, such as the ground or a processing plant, it has kinetic energy because of its motion. Its chemical potential energy doesn't change until it's processed, consumed, or rotted.

Four forms of energy that might be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction?
endothermal energy (absorbs heat)exothermic energy (releases heat)light energy e.g. burning magnesium produces a bright whitechemical energyNOTE: Kinetic energy is NOT a form of energy from chemical reactions. It is a common mistake to think so e.g. when sodium (Na) is placed on a piece of filter paper on a container of water, the reason it moves is from the bubbles of gas (hydrogen, H) propelling it. It is not moving by itself.
IN which part of the sperm cell are mitochondria found?
The mitochondris is there to store and produce energy for the sperm The mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration that produce energy in the form of ATP molecules ( Adenosine triphosphate) These are important in helping the sperm remain motile so it can have sufficient energy to reach the oviduct/ fallopian tube, where it will fertilize the egg. The flagella is vital in enabling the mobility. We love you and good luck!
How do plant cells and solar cells differ?
A solar cell or a photovoltaic cell converts the light energy from the sun directly into electricity and is non-organic but a plant cell is an organic piece of matter which contains chloroplasts in its cytoplasm which absorb light energy from the Sun and convert it into glucose (chemical energy) during the process of photosynthesis.
What type of energy is a piece of celery have potential or kinetic?
Potential Energy
Where are potential and kinetic energy in a blizzard?
The kinetic energy would be the energy of a piece of snow hurtling through the air. The potential energy would be calculated based on how far the piece of snow has to go to reach the ground.
Does kinetic energy and elastic potential energy have anything in common?
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic
What piece of apparatus would you use to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy?
Movement
When a piece of clay falls from the table to the floor what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?
As the clay falls it has kinetic energy

When a piece of clay falls from the table to the florr what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?
While an object is falling, most of the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy, i.e., it gets faster and faster. When it crashes on the ground, this kinetic energy is converted to other types of energy, usually heat.
Does a piece of paper have energy?
Yes, it is made of plant fibres (cellulose which is a sugar polymer) so it has chemical energy which will be released as heat if it is burned. It also has mass and that mass harbours potential energy in any gravitational field. If it falls towards the ground for any distance this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy, the energy of mass in motion. It will also have a temperature (the micro kinetic energy of the vibration of its component atoms and molecules).
How does a piece of wood have kinetic energy?
If it moves - a boomerang for example
Is the movement of air from a fan kinetic energy?
If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from. If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too, but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan to the tissue by the moving air.
What are the kinds of energy and its example?
light energy: sun heat energy: fire, heater kinetic energy: moving cars mechanical energy: television potential energy: a compressed spring sound energy: thunder chemical energy: battery nuclear energy: nuclear submarines thermal energy:a piece of paper moving over a candle
