Kinetic energy
A windmill converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy through its rotating blades. This mechanical energy can then be further converted into electrical energy, making a windmill primarily a kinetic energy conversion device.
A slingshot takes advantage of mechanical energy. When the slingshot is stretched, potential energy is stored in the elastic material. Upon release, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, propelling the object forward.
Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.
A slinky primarily uses potential energy while stretched or compressed due to its elasticity. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the slinky moves back and forth. Friction and air resistance may also play a small role in absorbing some of the energy as heat.
When an object moves, it uses kinetic energy.

Gas uses less engery.
for energy
It uses both potential energy and kinetic energy.
Mechanical energy is potential energy plus kinetic energy. ~A.L.C.

There are several. Gravitational potential energy is transformed into linear kinetic energy, which is then transformed into rotational kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.

At takeoff the jet has a relatively little amount of kinetic energy, no potential energy, and a lot of chemical energy in the unburned fuel.It uses the fuel to gain height (potential energy) and speed (kinetic energy).
A slinky primarily uses potential energy while stretched or compressed due to its elasticity. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the slinky moves back and forth. Friction and air resistance may also play a small role in absorbing some of the energy as heat.
Anything that moves is using kinetic energy, so I'll let you answer that one yourself. Potential energy is a bit more abstract, so here's some of it's uses: - Batteries (electric potential energy) - Mass (potential energy in relativistic 4-space, hence E = m*c2) - The Schrödinger equation and Hamiltonian operator in quantum mechanics (the Hamiltonian is Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = Total Energy, used to derive the time-dependent Schrödinger equation). - Enthalpy and the laws of thermodynamics.
many people in the world do. that's all i know.
