Fuel is a form of potential energy stored in chemical bonds. When the fuel is burned, its chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy and then into kinetic energy to power an engine or device.

Which steps in the power plant process rely on potential?

Okay, basically, the fuel used is all potential energy, after the energy is transmitted to steam, the steam flows and moves turbines which transforms the potential energy of fuel to kinetic energy. :.)


What type of energy a truck have?

If there is fuel in the tank then it has chemical energy in that fuel. If it is moving it has kinetic energy. If it is at the top of a hill then it has gravitational potential energy.


What type of energy is a piece of celery have potential or kinetic?

A piece of celery contains potential energy, which is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when the celery is consumed and its nutrients are broken down by the body to fuel various biological processes.


Would driving to the store be potential energy?

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.


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.


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.
