What are 5 examples of stored energy?

Answer 1

potential energy or static electricity....

when you hold an object in the air, you are storing energy inside the object because of the pull of gravity. this is called potential energy

a charge in an object is static electricity, which is also stored energy

Answer 2

1. Gravitational Potential Energy
   • stored by moving an object to a higher place
   • released by letting it fall
   • converted to Kinetic Energy
2. Chemical Potential Energy
   • stored in fuel
   • released by combustion
   • converted to Heat Energy
3. Pressure Energy
   • stored in a compressed air tank
   • released by opening a valve
   • converted to Kinetic Energy by driving an air drill
4. Electric Potential Energy
   • stored in a capacitor
   • released by allowing the current to flow in a circuit
   • converted to Heat or Light in the electric circuit
   • stored in a spring
   • released by letting the spring go
   • converted to Kinetic Energy
5. Elastic Potential Energy

There are a few more!

Answer 3

1. Chemical energy in batteries.
2. Potential energy in a stretched spring.
3. Gravitational potential energy in a raised object.
4. Nuclear energy in radioactive materials.
5. Thermal energy stored in a hot object.

Answer 4

Mechanical Energy are objects through the application of force. Examples of mechanical energy are the following: Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands

Answer 5

text book sitting on the edge of a table or a rock poised to fall

Answer 6

-- the wound-up main spring in your wristwatch

-- the water on the surface of Lake Mead, just behind Hoover Dam, waiting patiently

to pour down through the generating turbines

Answer 7

streched rubber bands
