Potential energy is generally thought of as energy stored within a physical system.
There are all types of potential energy:
a football on a table has gravitational potential energy - if it is knocked off the table potential energy will return it to the grouond
a bow and arrow has elastic potential energy when the bow is drawn back - when the string of the bow is released it will propel the arrow forward with the energy.
a battery has chemical potential energy - when a battery is used, a chemical reaction occurs that turns potential chemical engergy into electrical energy.
ther are more - nuclear energy

∙ 14y agoA compressed spring and an extended spring are examples of potential energy, E= +- kx^2. The gravitational energy between the earth and sun is potential energy,
E = -GmM/r. A pendulum displaced from its vertical direction , is an example of Potential energy..
Finally the energy of electric charge separation E= ( +-) q^2/4pi r.

Is an example of potential energy?
Newton's Gravity is an example of potential energy, E= -mGM/r and Planck's Energy is an example of potential energy E = hf = hc/r.
Which of the following is a form of mechanical energy.A.internal energy B.Chemical potential energy C.Gravitational potential energy D.electrical energy?
c-gravitational potential energy
A hydropower reservoir is an example of what kind of potential energy?
It is potential energy! (:
What kind of energy is an example of potential energy?
potential energy is stored energy so like, pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the bow back is a form of potential enegry because it's stroing energy This would be an example of elastic potential energy. Other types include gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy and chemical potential energy.
A pencil resting on a desk is an example of which type of energy?
Potential energy

What is chemical potential energy Apex?
what is a example for chemical potential energy
The energy of position is what kind of energy?
That is called potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy: If an object is raised, its potential energy increases.
Two general types of energy are kinetic energy and?
Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
Which type of energy is associated with following water it is mechanical or kinetic or potential?
Water, when stationary, has potential energy. When it's moving, it has kinetic energy. Take the water in a reservoir for example. held back by the dam, it has potential energy - because, although it's not doing anything, it has the 'potential' to move. When it's released to turn turbines, it has kinetic energy because it's moving.
Whats an example of potential chemical energy?
potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object
What is an non example for potential energy?
A person running is not an example of potential energy. it is an example of kinetic energy.
What are the 3 types potential energy?
There are several types of potential energy, not just 3. The following are probably the most important ones:Gravitational potential energy, i.e., the potential energy in a gravitational field;The potential energy in an electric field;The potential energy in a magnetic field;Elastic energy;Chemical energy;Nuclear energy.
