Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid at room temperature, that's
also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol. It's
a psychoactive drug, and is one of the oldest recreational drugs still used by
humans. In common usage, it's often called "spirits", or simply "alcohol".
A sample of ethanol holds a comparatively large quantity of chemical energy.
But it can very easily sit there in a jar and appear just as harmless as water.
So until its energy is released, you have to consider its energy to be the
potential kind.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two main groups of energy?
I would say potential and kinetic true true
What energy has to do with potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Object hanging on a tree a kinetic or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
Is a rock potential or kinetic energy?
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic energy
What happens to an object's potential energy as it gains kinetic energy?
As an object gains kinetic energy (movement), its potential energy decreases. This is because the energy is being converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. The total mechanical energy of the object (kinetic energy + potential energy) remains constant if no external forces are acting on the object.
Is ethanol potential or kinetic?
Ethanol is a chemical compound and therefore does not have kinetic or potential energy itself. However, when ethanol is burned as a fuel, it releases energy in the form of heat, which is a form of kinetic energy.
How are potential and kinetic energy related?
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic 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.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy, which is associated with the motion of an object, and potential energy, which is associated with the position or configuration of an object.
How is kinetic energy different from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
Is kinetic energy the same as potential energy?
No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
Are kinetic and potential energy the same?
No, kinetic and potential energy are not the same. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work in the future.
Is energy potential or kinetic?
Energy can exist in two main forms: potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
Is energy at rest potential or kinetic energy?
Energy at rest is potential energy. It is stored energy that has the potential to be transformed into kinetic energy when an object is in motion.
What are the two main groups of energy?
I would say potential and kinetic true true
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"
