What kind of energy does a wound clock spring have?
It can be described in several ways, but elastic potential energy is the most useful.
How is gravitational potential energy useful?
it is the energy of position and most objects have gravitational potential energy, all they need is a height, and to NOT have a spring/elastic
One situation in which gravitational potential energy is useful?
A roller coaster
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy

Gasoline is useful in cars because it has?
chemical potential energy

One situation in which gravitational potential energy is useful?
A roller coaster
Situation in which gravitational potential energy might be useful?
A roller coaster

Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinectic energy?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
Why do you need potential energy?
It might be more accurate to say that you need to understand potential energy. Whether you want it or not, potential energy exists in our Universe.Potential energy can be useful as an energy storage, for example, in a water dam. When the water is allowed to fall down, it can move turbines, generating electricity.
Why do we need gravitational energy?
Gravitational potential energy stored in the water reserved in a dam becomes useful to generate electricity.
Is there an energy advantage if diesel contains 17 percent more chemical potential energy than petrol?
Yes, the energy output of an engine is governed by the chemical potential energy of the fuels. Assuming that the extra potential energy could be turned into useful work, there would be an energy advantage of diesel over petrol.
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
How does kinetic energy and potential energy switch?
work=change in kinetic energy, doing work on an object by moving it up increases that object's potential energy because it has the POTENTIAL to fall due to gravity. kinetic energy is lost in the movement of the object. However, throughout an entire closed system, the total energy in joules (or kinetic enery plus potential energy) does remain constant. this is useful because the initial energy and the final energy most be equal, and if thats true, then initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy must equal final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. does that help?
