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.
When the brick held on hands is shifted down to break the rod change is from potential to kinetic or kinetic to heat?
The change is from potential energy to kinetic energy.
How does the energy in a skateboard change as it goes down hill?
the skateboards potential energy becomes kinetic energy and heat energy.
Why is latent heat considered potential energy?
This is referred to as conservation of energy
What is the change in potential energy of a single electron as it moves through the light bulb?
The change in potential energy of a single electron as it moves through the light bulb is converted into light and heat energy.
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.
What is the energy change in a lighted candle?
When a candle is lit, the potential energy stored in the wax is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy through the process of combustion. This energy change is exothermic, meaning that energy is released in the form of heat and light.
What is the change in the potential energy of a single electron as it moves through the light bulb?
As an electron moves through a light bulb, its potential energy changes due to interactions with the electric field. This change in potential energy is converted into light and heat energy, which powers the light bulb.
Is heat the transfer of potential energy?
No. Heat is thermal energy
Why is heat energy stored as potential energy while vaporisation?
During vaporization, heat energy is stored as potential energy because the energy is used to break the intermolecular forces holding liquid molecules together. This potential energy allows the molecules to transition from a liquid to a gaseous state without a change in temperature.
In a chemical reaction a catalyst changes the 1.potential energy of the products 2.potential energy of the reactants 3. heat of reaction 4.activation energy?
A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction, making it easier for the reactants to form products. It does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products, nor does it affect the overall heat of the reaction.
What kind of energy does potential energy change into?
If an object falls down, potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy (energy of movement). However, if an object drifts down slowly - say, a feather falling in air, or an object that falls down in water - the energy will be immediately converted to heat energy.
