In a 1.5V battery taking the negative terminal as 0.0V what is the electrical potential energy of an electron leaving the negative battery terminal?
Somebody is trying a trick question! The electron that comes out of the negative terminal has zero potential energy. With respect to the positive terminal it has -1.5V of electrical potential energy, and so does every other electron at 0.0V whether or not they came out of the battery.
How do electrons flow in an electric circuit in terms of potential energy?
Electrons flow in an electric circuit from an area of higher potential energy (positive terminal of the battery) to an area of lower potential energy (negative terminal of the battery). This flow of electrons is what creates an electric current in the circuit.
What happens to the kinetic energy of an object that falls at terminal speed?
At terminal speed, the object stops accelerating due to air resistance equaling gravitational force. The kinetic energy remains constant because the object is moving at a constant speed.
Does the total mechanical energy of a system remain constant, even when the kinetic energy equals the potential energy?
Yes, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant even when the kinetic energy equals the potential energy. This is known as the conservation of mechanical energy.
The sumof the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is?
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is constant and equal to the total mechanical energy. This is a result of the conservation of energy principle, where the body's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, keeping the total energy constant.
A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
Does A neuron expends energy while it maintains a resting potential?
yes it does

Is it possible for a ball to also have potential energy as it is rolling?
Yes, if it is rolling at a constant speed it has potential energy.
What happens to kinetic energy and potential energy in a closed system?
In a closed system, the total energy (kinetic + potential) remains constant, following the principle of conservation of energy. As kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases, and vice versa. This continuous exchange between kinetic and potential energy allows the system to maintain a constant total energy.

Electrons flow in an electric circuit from an area of higher potential energy (positive terminal of the battery) to an area of lower potential energy (negative terminal of the battery). This flow of electrons is what creates an electric current in the circuit.

When a solid moves vertically down a liquid at terminal velocity work done on it is zero but it's gravitational potential energy decreases HOW?
As you say, work is not being done on it and its kinetic energy is constant, but it is losing potential energy. In this case the potential energy loss is being dissipated into turbulence of the fluid, which is a mechanical form of energy, and perhaps some thermal heating due to friction. A good question, made me think!
What relationship exists between height and potential energy if mass is held constant?
The relationship between height and potential energy is directly proportional when mass is held constant. As an object is raised to a higher height, its potential energy increases. This relationship is given by the equation: potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a freely falling body is constant and equal to the total mechanical energy. This is a result of the conservation of energy principle, where the body's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, keeping the total energy constant.
Where does the gravitational potential energy go when a parachutist's kinetic energy is constant?
