We basically eat food because of the CHEMICAL energy it provides us. Chemical energy is a type of POTENTIAL energy.
Energy can either be "potential" energy or "kinetic" energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored in some system: a stretched rubber band, a book sitting on a table, or the chemical bonds in the wax of a candle. Kinetic energy is energy that is moving, and generally comes from the release of potential energy, such as letting go of the rubber band, the book falling off the table, or lighting the candle.
Kinetic energy
the energy source that you use at home is thermal energy because when you are at home, you are sitting and the you get up the next minute. thermal energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy due to its random motion.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Chemical energy is both renewable and non-renewable in different situations. When burning fossile fuel, it is non-renewable. But it is renewable with flowers as long as their source remains available. So if the chemical the energy is being produced from is renewable, then the chemical energy will be too.
"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.
Potential energy (turned into kinetic energy to drive the turbines), (turned into electrical energy by the turbines). Note the original source of this energy is the Sun (nuclear fusion).
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or potential energy
Solar energy is defined as radiant energy. Radiant energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. There are differences in opinion on whether radiant energy is potential or kinetic energy.
potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and the tide is always in motion not standing still hence it is a source of kinetic energy.
It converts potential energy (source) to kinetic energy (product)
gravitational potential energy
Energy can either be "potential" energy or "kinetic" energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored in some system: a stretched rubber band, a book sitting on a table, or the chemical bonds in the wax of a candle. Kinetic energy is energy that is moving, and generally comes from the release of potential energy, such as letting go of the rubber band, the book falling off the table, or lighting the candle.
They use kinetic energy by conerting potential energy into it. The fuel source is diesel or gas.
NOPE! Water flowing is a kinetic energy source because its moving!
Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.
Mechanical-the energy is actually the result of a mass of water falling from one level to another, so it is derived from potential gravitational energy. It is certainly not chemical or nuclear
