Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in a form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential
Does a pile of coal have potential energy?
i think it does cause coal is made out of rocks that get burned so it does have potential energy
Is a burning match potential energy?
Burning coal has chemical potential energy, because the energy is stored up in the bonds between the carbon molecules, and when the coal is burned, the stored energy is released and transformed into heat, light, and even sometimes sound energy.
What must occur for the potential energy of fossiL fuel to change into other forms of energy?
"Combustion" must occur before the potential energy can be released from fossil fuels... examples of fossil fuel... gasoline and coal, both are "burned" to create their energy
What happens to the energy when its released when firewood is burned?
when the wood burns, chemical reactions occur that change chemical potential energy into thermal energy and light enery. Well, the released energy just simply turns into thermal and light enery.

What energy does coal have?
Coal has potential chemical energy which is released as heat when it is burned.
Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in a form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential
When a fossil fuel is burned what energy is converted into kinetic energy?
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
How does a piece of coal contain potential energy?
Before it is burned there is stored energy within it, and once it is burned the energy within it is released by the fire to form heat, light, and chemical energy.
What is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned.?
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
What is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
Which forms of energy is released when wood is burned?
Chemical potential energy is released as heat, light, and sound when wood is burnt.
Butanol is a fuel that has the potential to replace gasoline in cars How many kJ of heat energy are released when 1.27 kg of butanol are burned?
46400
Is chemical energy a form of energy?
Yes, chemical energy is a form of potential energy. An example is the chemical energy in coal, which can be burned to convert that chemical energy into thermal energy.
Does a pile of coal have potential energy?
i think it does cause coal is made out of rocks that get burned so it does have potential energy
