Potential energy is the opposite of Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy being exerted while potential energy is energy that's stored up and can be 'potentially' used. The total amount of potential energy and kinetic energy must always stay the same.
An example is when you drop a ball. Before you drop it all the energy is potential because the ball is not moving. When the ball is halfway down, half the total energy is potential and half is kinetic. When the ball reaches the ground, all the energy has turned into kinetic.
Physics generally defines potential energy due to gravity as mgh, where m = mass, g = gravity (9.81 m/s) and h = height above the ground. There's also elastic potential energy which is 1/2kx^2 where k = a spring constant and x = distance away from equilibrium.

What is a class captain speech?
A class captain speech is a speech given by a student to their classmates to ask for their support in being elected as the class captain. In the speech, the student typically outlines their qualities, ideas, and reasons why they would make a good leader for the class. It is a way for the student to showcase their leadership skills and vision for the class.

-Light Energy -Thermal Energy -Chemical Energy -Gravitational Potential Energy -Kinetic Energy -Sound Energy -Electrical Energy I think that's all or most of them :)
What is the scope of nanotechnology in India?
Dear Sir, I am new to the field of Nanotechnology but in my six months course " Nanotechnology sensitization Program" from " Nano Science and Technology consortium , NSTC, INDIA(www.nstc.in). I have come to know that Nanotechnology has tremendous protential in India specially in the areas of Pharma Sciences, Textiles, Food and Agriculture, Packaging, Cosmetics, Automobiles, and many more areas such as Energy, water purification where India is facing acute problems Nanotech can be used to provide solutions. I personally believe that the estimated 1 trillion market potenitial of Nanotech as pridicted by Americans is very much achivable. India should act on Nanotech in big way as our Former President as already said that the next generation will be for scientist where India can take much lead as compared to developed counties. Ajay M
