Is food energy a kind of potential energy?

Yes, food energy is a type of potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules. When food is consumed and broken down during digestion, this potential energy is released and converted into a form that the body can use for various physiological functions.


What you is the measure of energy that is used for measuring the amount of energy in food?

The recommended unit to use for any type of energy is the joule. That way, no conversion factors are required, when converting from one type of energy to another. In practice, the calorie or kilocalorie is still sometimes used for food.


What type of energy is used when waking up?

When waking up, the body primarily uses stored energy in the form of glycogen, which is converted to glucose for fuel. This energy comes from the food we have eaten and stored in our muscles and liver.


What type of collision is kinetic energy is conserved?

An elastic collision conserves kinetic energy. In this type of collision, the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.


What type of energy conversion is happening when a bicycle is being push up hill?

When a bicycle is being pushed uphill, the energy conversion happening is primarily from the chemical energy stored in the muscles of the cyclist to mechanical energy to propel the bicycle up the hill. Additionally, there is some frictional energy being converted from mechanical energy to heat energy due to the resistance between the tires and the road surface.
