What are examples of potenial energy?
An example of potential energy: a cocked trebuchet
What things use gravitational potential energy?
The medieval war machine the trebuchet uses gravitational potential energy to hurl rocks. Hydroelectric dams use the gravitational potential of water to convert to kinetic energy to drive a turbine and create electricity.
What is the role that friction plays in conservation of energy?
It makes potential and kinetic energy
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
What is an energy form based on position above or below another point?
The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.

What are the forces involved in a trebuchet?
Thurst, Gravitiy, Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, and a few other.

What energy transformation takes place as the catapult is launced?
A catapult is used to throw things. If, for example, you look at the trebuchet, you see that it has a very heavy load, heavier then the projectile, that is set up above the ground. This gives the load and consequentially the trebuchet a lot of potential energy. The projectile is launched when the load starts to fall on the ground, when it's falling, it gets kinetic energy which is given to the projectile. The projectile uses it to build up potential energy as it flies towards it's goal, and then gains back the kinetic energy as it falls.
Describe potential energy?
Potential energy is a fundamental concept in physics and plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of physical systems and the conservation of energy. When the conditions or positions of objects change, potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy or thermal energy, as objects move or undergo changes in their state.
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
How would you calculate how far a trebuchet or a catapult would fire a load?
Trebuchet: the vertical distance that the counterweight falls influences the amount of potential energy it has to fling the arm on the opposite side, with the projectile. So too would the distance the counterweight and the projectile are from the rotaional axis. Depends on the mass of both the counterweight and the projectile too. Catapult: depending on the material used to store energy when tensioned, and the distance of the rotational axis from the projectile.
What is the role of potentail energy in your daily life?
potential is basically is the position of your body is it mainly in your life

The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
