A car which is moving has kinetic energy. It moves because the chemical energy in the fuel is being converted to kinetic energy. Sometimes we call the energy in the fuel chemical potential energy, though this is not the same thing as the gravitational potential energy which we usually refer to when we begin to study energy.
What else can I help you with?
Is a person diving into water an example of potential energy?
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.
What do chemical bonds store?
Chemical bonds store potential energy, which is a form of energy that is stored in the molecular structure of a substance. This potential energy is released when bonds are broken during a chemical reaction.
Is battery potential or kinetic energy?
Batteries store potential energy, But after you connect it to the circuit then it converts to KINETIC ENERGY!
What are two ways a spring can store elastic potential energy?
A spring can store elastic potential energy by compressing or stretching. When a spring is compressed, energy is stored in the form of potential energy due to the force applied to compress it. Similarly, when a spring is stretched, energy is stored in the form of potential energy that can be released when the spring returns to its original position.
Does a dam store up chemical energy?
No it stores potential energy.
How do you convert electrical energy into potential energy?
You can use the electricity to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it then has mechanical potential energy. Or store it in a battery - chemical potential energy.
What type of stored potential energy does magnesium and hydrochloric acid have?
Magnesium and hydrochloric acid store potential energy in the form of chemical potential energy. When they react, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, heat, and light.
Which form of energy is most difficult to store and why?
Potential
What is an advantage in potential energy just potential energy not fossil fuels or anything else and make it Th grade language?
Advantage, compared to what exactly? Different types of potential energy let you store energy. This is sometimes actually used in technology, to store energy - for example, in a capacitor.
Compressed springs and streched rubber bands are stored what energy?
Compressed springs store potential energy, which is energy stored in an object due to its position or state. Stretched rubber bands also store potential energy as they can release kinetic energy when they snap back to their original shape.
The nucleus of an atom can store what kind of energy?
The nucleus of an atom can store potential energy, which is released when nuclear reactions occur, such as fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.
True or false Solar energy is difficult to store?
Solar energy is impossible to store. Normally we try to use it straight away, or convert it into a storable form of energy such as chemical potential or electrical potential.
