Is electrical enerty potential energy?

Electricity itself is not potential energy, but rather a form of energy that results from the movement of charged particles. However, electrical energy can be stored as potential energy in batteries or capacitors.


What happens to the energy you use when you lift something?

When you lift something, the energy you use is converted from stored chemical energy in your muscles into gravitational potential energy of the object. This potential energy is then transferred to the object, giving it the ability to do work.


What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.


The energy something has because of its position or condition is?

Potential energy. It is energy that is stored within an object based on its position or condition, and has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.


Can bungee jumping have gravitational potential energy and how?

Yes, potential energy is an energy something has because of its position in a gravitation field. Thus the jumper standing on the bridge before the jump has gravitational potential energy. When the jumper jumps the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (the energy something has because of it motion) an is also stored in the rubber band as elastic strain energy. When the energy stored in the rubber band exceeds the kinetic energy the jumper halts and bounces back and the energy in the rubber is re converted into potential energy. The jumper oscillates on the rubber rope until the energy loss due to friction and wind resistance uses up the potential energy present in the system at the start of the jump and the jumper hangs still from the rope.

What is the word for how much energy something contains?

Potential energy.


How is gravitational potential energy different from potential energy?

It is different because gravitational potential energy is when something is getting pulled by gravity and potential energy is stored energy which means that it is not moving and the energy is not getting released as gravitational energy is.


What are the differences between potential energy and kinetic energy and thermal energy?

potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold

Which state of energy is when something is ABOUT to happen?

Potential energy is energy that is not kinetic or moving.


What do gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy have in common?

In both cases, energy is involved in pushing something against a force.

How would you explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).


Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, while potential energy is the energy stored in an object based on its position or configuration. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity, while potential energy depends on height, position, or state of compression/expansion.
