Is food energy a kind of potential energy?
Yes. Basically, the energy in food is chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
What is energy stored in food called?
"Stored" is another form of potential energy. You can burn the food to release the potential energy. It is potential, because the food is not a source of kinetic energy until it is in a food fight.
How is the food that you eat similar to the gasoline that runs a car?
Both work as energy... Food help us carry out life functions, and gasoline helps car engines run so the car can move...
Is a chemical bond in food potential energy?
Yes. It potential chemical energy.
What is potential energy important?
Potential energy that is important in practice includes: * Gravitational potential energy * Elastic energy * Chemical energy (including food energy) * Nuclear energy
What cause an object to have potential energy?
Potential energy is stored energy capable of doing work. Since energy is general comes from the food we eat, so does potential energy.
Can chemical energy be stored in gasoline?
Yes, Chemical energy can also be stored in food
What form of energy does food represent?
Chemical Potential Energy
What is the form of energy stored in food called?
Potential energy
Is the food you eat potential or kinetic energy?
The food energy that can be utilized by the eater of the food is chemical potential energy. In a food fight, when the food is propelled through the air, it temporarily acquires some kinetic energy as well, which has nothing to do with its identity as food, and can't be utilized by eating the food, since it must come to rest before the eating commences. ________ All matter is made up of a combination of kinetic and potential energy. The kinetic energy that comprises your food is all the energy of motion of its molecules. The hotter your food, the faster its molecules are moving and the more kinetic energy they posess. Also, as mentioned above, if you throw your food, it will posess bulk kinetic energy. However, the majority of the energy contained within food is potential energy stored within what you could think of as unhappy chemical bonds. When you eat food, your body invests a little energy to break apart these unhappy bonds and makes new, happier bonds between the food molecules and the oxygen you breathe. When these happy bonds form, a large ammount of energy is released. Your body uses this energy for running around and having food fights.
How food energy can be viewed as molecular potential energy?
Food energy is a type of chemical energy (specifically, any chemical energy that is usable for living beings). And chemical energy is the potential energy related to forces between atoms.
Where is chemical potential energy stored?
In food
