Is wind up for the pitch kinetic energy or potential energy?
Answer 1Kinetic. Remember, kinetic energy is the energy of movement.Answer 2If one considers winding up for the pitch as analogous to winding up the spring on a crossbow, then you are converting kinetic energy (the motion produced by your arms) to potential "elastic" energy. Releasing the catch on the bow then converts the stored potential energy to the kinetic energy of the bolt as it flies away.Of course people are not crossbows, and the interplay of forces and motions is a bit more complex.Added:Answer two's analogy is flawed as the potential energy on the cross bow winding is not potential until the mechanism is stopped and locked. Until that point the energy is kinetic to potential. A pitcher winding up does not store potential energy as a locked in place cross bow bolt does.Added 2:Hence my statement that winding up a crossbow is *converting* kinetic energy to potential, while releasing the crossbow *converts* potential to kinetic energy.But as already noted, comparing winding up for a pitch to winding up a crossbow is probably not very accurate anyway.When a pitcher winds himself up for a pitch, he positions himself in such a way as to be able to convert the maximum amount of *chemical* energy into kinetic energy. At least, that's how I see it.
What has to be strong in order to cause a chemical reaction to take place?
Chemical reactions are driven by the amount of energy used to break the bonds in the reactants ( the activation energy) and the energy released by making new bonds in the products. The stronger the forces holding together the molecules of products, the more readily the reaction takes place. The difference between the energy produced in making the bonds and breaking the bonds is called ENTHALPY. The reaction can also be driven if the products have a greater degree of disorder (ENTROPY) than the reactants.
What energy transformation takes place when you burn coal?
Radiant energy -> photosynthesis -> time, heat pressure = coalcoal gets burned- > heats water- > turns a turbine-> turns a generator -> produces electricity.
