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
I believe the answer would be yes. All matter has stored potential energy, as this energy can be defined as the "potential" to move or perform some other action. Usually when we talk about potential energy we're talking about an object's ability to convert this energy into "kinetic energy," which is the energy an object has when it moves. Example:If a rollercoaster is at the top of a hill on the track, it has a lot of potential energy because it's going very slowly. However, when it crests the rise and begins its descent, this potential energy is gradually converted to kinetic energy as it moves faster and faster.+++Yes coal does have potential chemical energy (combustion is a chemical reaction).

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.
