What else can I help you with?
Is heat a type of potential energy?
Heat energy is different from potential energy. Heat energy provides warmth and potential energy is due to height.
Is heat the transfer of potential energy?
No. Heat is thermal energy
How do you define latent heat and What is its relationship to potential energy?
Latent heat is the heat required to achieve a change of phase - for example, to melt ice and convert it to water. As to the relationship with potential energy, latent heat IS a type of potential energy.
Energy exists in two states what are they?
Energy exists in many more than two states, but two are light energy and heat energy.
Can heat be a form of potential energy?
No, heat is a form of kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with motion at the molecular level. Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work, like gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy.
john lifts a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank. Which of the following energy conversion take place?
bat
Does potential energy equal kinetic energy plus heat and sound?
Normally the heat and sound are forms of energy wasted in the conversion from potential to kinetic energy. By the conservation of energy principle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy not withstanding energy losses.
What is potential thermal energy?
Thermal potential energy is energy that is formed by heat and the sun.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Is heat potential energy?
Yes
What is and example of heat energy coverted to potential energy?
An example of heat energy being converted to potential energy is when water in a pan boils and turns into steam. The heat energy from the stove causes the water molecules to gain kinetic energy and escape as steam, which holds potential energy due to its high temperature and pressure.
how on heating a liquid at its boiling point heat energy converted to potential energy?
You are transferring the heat into the water and changing it into steam. Steam has potential energy that can be released by cooling and expansion. This potential energy is released either in heat or can be converted back to kinetic energy by its expansion. This is how power plants work. Some fuel is burned to heat water to steam. Which contains potential energy converted from the heat of the burning fuel. This potential energy releases heat and kinetic energy as it is allowed to expand pushing and driving the turbines that turn the electric generators, and thus the kinetic energy is, by way of the generator converted to electric energy.
