Why r u kidding it's because styrofoam weighs very little compared to every thing else
there is lot of potential energy in sun. We are not using it full.
That depends on whether the water is in motion. Water coming from a fire hose certainly packs a lot of kinetic energy. Water held in a reservoir behind a dam represents a lot of potential energy but no kinetic.
One material that is not good at conducting thermal energy is styrofoam. Styrofoam is a poor conductor because it has a low density and is composed mostly of pockets of air, which hinders the transfer of heat. This property makes styrofoam useful for insulation purposes.
You can store energy in a rubber band by stretching it, and this potential energy becomes kinetic energy when you let go
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.

Any forms of matter contain a lot of potential energy.
She has a lot of potential to become what she wants to be. Potential energy is one type of energy. A tornado watch means there is potential for a tornado.
A ball sitting at the top of a ledge, it has a lot of potential energy until it is pushed off the ledge then it is converted into kinetic energy

At takeoff the jet has a relatively little amount of kinetic energy, no potential energy, and a lot of chemical energy in the unburned fuel.It uses the fuel to gain height (potential energy) and speed (kinetic energy).
In football, potential energy is stored in the ball when it is lifted off the ground before a pass or a kick. When the ball is in motion, it converts this potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is what allows the ball to travel through the air and upon impact with a player or the ground.

No. For example, a satellite in orbit has a lot of both.

Energy. Potential energy is like stored energy: ready-to go. (a cart at the top of a roller coaster hill has a lot of potential energy) Kinetic energy is moving energy: in-motion. (when that cart goes speeding down the hill)
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.
