A rubber band has energy when it is stretched. The energy comes from whatever stretches it, for example, your muscles.

Does kinetic energy and elastic potential energy have anything in common?

Yes, kinetic energy and elastic potential energy are both forms of mechanical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, while elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its deformation (stretching or compressing). Both forms of energy can be converted into other types of energy and are related through the conservation of energy principle.


What is an example of an object that has potential energy?

Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.


IS HYDRO ENERGY POTENTIAL OR KINETIC?

Both. Rainwater is gathered in a reservoir and held in by a dam. At that stage it has potential energy because it is high up. That energy came from the Sun that evaporated the water from the ocean. The water is then run down a chute at high speed. At that stage it has kinetic energy which is used to drive a turbine that rotates an electric generator to produce electrical energy.


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.


Explain how energy is conserved when you throw a ball into the air and then catch it?

When it is in your hand you have potential energy, then when you throw it you use mechanical, it has kinetic in the air, then slowly shanges to potential in the air, then all the way potentail energy in your hand.

Is chemical energy a form of potential energy?

Yes, chemical energy is a form of potential energy. Chemical energy could be considered as potential energy stored in the bonds of a molecule. To use a single example, if we burn methane (CH4) in air (with oxygen, O2, it it), the result will be the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The reaction will release a lot of heat (thermal energy), and that energy came from the chemical potential energy in the bonds of the methane.

If a marble is in a tube starting as potential energy and turns into kinetic energy but the marble goes in a loop and goes to a stop what type of energy is that called?

You have converted potential energy to kinetic and then back to potential. If the marble came back exactly to its starting point you would have invented perpetual motion, but in fact it will lose a little energy in friction against the tube so it will gradually lose energy and eventually just stop at the lowest point of the tube.
