What are some kinds of potential energy?
Energy stored in a spring; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
What are some potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is stored energy that is waiting to be converted into kinetic energy by have a force applied to the object. When an object has potential energy, it is not moving. So, two examples are: A rock sitting atop a hill or a cheetah about to spring at it's prey. 1. A rock is displaying potential energy because it is not moving. 2. The cheetah is storing energy, meaning that is waiting for the right moment to attack. Stored energy as in meaning that it is not using the energy that it has.Potential energy comes in two forms, spring potential energy, and gravitational potential energy. Spring potential energy comes from any elastic material that has the tendency to return to its original form, such as a bow string. An arrow drawn back on a bow would have potential energy because the bow string "wants" to return to its original state. Gravitational potential energy comes from being above the ground, such as a held basketball. Because it has the tendency to fall towards Earth, raising it up increases its potential energy.
Example of gravitational potential energy?
Any object that is above the chosen reference level (often this is the ground level) will have positive potential energy. Any object below the chosen reference level will have negative potential energy.
Unlike kinetic energy potential energy is?
Potential energy is stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
What kind energy is dominos falling?
the type of energy is potential energy
Is an example of potential energy?
Newton's Gravity is an example of potential energy, E= -mGM/r and Planck's Energy is an example of potential energy E = hf = hc/r.
A hydropower reservoir is an example of what kind of potential energy?
It is potential energy! (:
What kind of energy is an example of potential energy?
potential energy is stored energy so like, pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the bow back is a form of potential enegry because it's stroing energy This would be an example of elastic potential energy. Other types include gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy and chemical potential energy.
A pencil resting on a desk is an example of which type of energy?
Potential energy
What is chemical potential energy Apex?
what is a example for chemical potential energy
What happens to potential energy after it decreases?
The potential energy will have converted into some other kind of energy. For example, for an object in free fall, it converts to kinetic energy (the object moves faster); if there is some resistance, part of this energy will convert to heat.
How does the gravity transform energy?
When an object is moved up, against the force of gravity, its potential energy increases. Since it requires some force to move it up, some other form of energy is converted into potential energy. When the object moves down (for example, when it falls down), this potential energy is again converted into some other type of energy. For more information, do some reading on the topic of "potential energy".
The energy of position is what kind of energy?
That is called potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy: If an object is raised, its potential energy increases.
Two general types of energy are kinetic energy and?
Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
Is a person diving into water an example of potential energy?
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.
How do chemical energy transform into potential energy?
For a start, chemical energy IS a type of potential energy. If you want some other type of potential energy, please clarify which one. If you mean gravitational potential energy, one way is for burning to occur in a piston; this can then do work - for example, move something up.
Whats an example of potential chemical energy?
potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object
