It is chemical energy, which is a kind of potential energy. Kinetic energy would be derived from it once it began combustion to move a piston. Or to heat molecules in the air.

If you had to choose one, probably potential. However, the kind of energy contained in fuels is more usually called "chemical energy".

When wax solidifies the kinetic energy of the particles in the wax...?

No change in kinetic energy and a decrease in potential energy. The potential energy becomes more negative as the bonds are formed during solidification (potential energy is zero when the object is a gas and reduces from that point as the state changes).

They use kinetic energy by conerting potential energy into it. The fuel source is diesel or gas.


What is the measure of the kinetic energy of the atoms of an object?

Kinetic energy is the energy created by the motion of an object. In classical mechanics, kinetic energy is calculated using the equation: KE = 1/2 * m * v^2 (where KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity) Potential energy is energy that an object has simply due to its position and configuration. This energy can be caused by where it is in a force field. The most common potential energy is gravitational potential energy. There is also electrical, magnetic, and elastic potential energy. In classical mechanics, gravitational potential energy created by the Earth is calculated using: PE = mgh (where PE = potential energy, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the object)

Can kinetic energy and potential energy both increase when a gas filled balloon is rising in air?

Yes. energy is increasing inside the balloon causing it to rise in the air. Therefore, kinetic and potential energy is constantly increasing as the balloon floats higher.


Why is sound energy kinetic energy?

Sound is the movement of a medium at frequencies we can hear. As it always involves movement of a medium, either a solid, liquid or gas to be transmitted it will involve kinetic energy at times. Note that kinetic energy is the energy stored in a moving mass. Sound waves carry energy with a combination of both kinetic and potential energy. There are two moments in every cycle where there is no movement and therefore no kinetic energy. These two points are at the upper and lower peaks of the wave.


When a gas is heated does all of the absorbed energy convert to kinetic energy If not please tell what it is converted to part kinetic and part potential energy or just potential energy?

The gas will have thermal energy given by its specific heat capacity (at constant pressure or volume depending on the situation) times the rise in temperature. This thermal energy is possessed because of the increased kinetic energy of its molecules, due to the rise in temperature.
