Potential energy is the mass of an object times its height above ground. If you lift a 10 pound object 10 feet it has a potential energy of 100 pound-feet. The energy is released when it returns to the earth. Another form of energy is kinetic energy. This is possessed by an object in motion and is equal to 1/2 the Mass time the Velocity-squared (1/2MV^2). There is also energy related to electricity and magnetism and temperature as will as Einsteins famous equation E= MC^2 which is the energy produced by an atomic reaction where E is the energy, M is the Mass converted to energy, and C is the speed of light in a vacume,and straw rockets are an example of potential energy.

What is potential energy and some examples?
Potential energy is the "energy of position" - work done against a so-called "conservative force". Examples include a compressed spring, gravitational potential energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy.
What are the examples of gravity potential energy?
Well, we know gravity is the pull on an object. Also, that potential energy is when an object is at the highest point. So, some examples of this would be when a roller coaster is at the very top, it is when it has the most potential energy, and gravity is pulling upon it.
What are examples of potenial energy?
An example of potential energy: a cocked trebuchet
What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
What is some examples of potential energy that you can see in your own home?
If you get a rubber band and pull it back, that is potential energy, when you let go and the rubber band and it is in motion that is kinetic energy. potential energy is when an object is about to move because it is storing energy, and the higher the object is the more potential energy it has.

Can you give some examples for Potentia energy?
Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.
Can you give some examples of potential energy?
A parked car is potential energy =]- aim wave ; twinxlocksxin
What are some chemical potential energy examples?
examples of chemical energy are.. food, baterries, fuels, candles, etc.
Can you give me some examples of gravitational potential energy?

unlit match a rock held in your hand.
What are examples of chemical to thermal?
Chemical potential energy are commonly found in batteries. So anything that uses batteries to produce heat can be examples. Here are some examples: Netbooks/Laptops (when turned on and not charging) Handphones. Another source of chemical potential energy is food. We eat food to keep our body warm because the chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy by our body.
