Explain the ideas of potential and kinetic energy using a rubber band as your example?
When you stretch the rubber band you are doing work and energy is stored in the elastic, this is potential energy. When you release the band, the potential turns into kinetic and you have movement, until the elastic has returned to its unstressed original state.

What else can I help you with?
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
Explain how the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
Is a waterfall an example of mechanical energy?
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
Example of kinetic energy?
Anything that had potential energy then converted to kinetic energy. A good example would a ball. If you are playing bowling and you are swinging the ball backwards and about to through it foward, the ball has potential energy. Once you release it, and while the ball is falling it has kinetic energy. The energy of the changes from potential to kinetic energy. Hope this helps XD
Two general types of energy are kinetic energy and?
Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
Is a waterfall a example of kinetic energy?
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
Example of conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?
The simplest example is a falling object. Its potential energy is reduced, while its speed, and thus its kinetic energy, increases.
Is energy stored in gasoline is an example of kinetic energy?
No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.
Is a water fall an example of kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass * Velocity squared KE = (1/2)mV2 Your stream has mass and, if running, has velocity. So, this would be an example of generated kinetic energy.
What has kinetic and potential energy?
A roller coaster is a good example for a place to find both kinetic and potential energy. Before a drop, it has potential energy. At the end of a drop, it has kinetic energy. Half way through the drop, it has kinetic and potential energy at the same time.
When does potential energy turn into kinetic energy?
when an object moves, it becomes kinetic energy. example-a rollercoaster
What is difference between potential and kinetic energy give two examples?
If the object is placed at height, it has potential energy and when this object falls down, this potential energy is converted to kinetic (kinesis means movement) energy. If we have to lift object at height , we have to spend energy, witch is released during fall of the object. Example is when water comes down in hydroelectric power station potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Witch is used to rotate wheel, creating electricity.
Is wind blowing an example of potential energy?
Wind blowing is an example of kinetic energy, not potential energy. Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or state, whereas kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
Is a stick of unit dynamite an example of kinetic energy?
No, a stick of dynamite is potential energy because it has the potential to explode and release kinetic energy.
What is an non-example of gravitational potential energy?
An example of a non-example of gravitational potential energy is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, whereas gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position relative to a gravitational field.
