Question

Define potential energy and what are the kinds of potential energy

Answer 1

Heya Mate.......................

Here is your answer.........................

_________________________________________________________________________________

Energy:-

==> Capacity of doing work is known as energy.

==> S.I. unit of energy is Joule.

==> Energy are many Types:

1). Kinetic energy:-

==> The Energy in motion is known as kinetic energy.

==> Ex- Moving ball & Flowing of water.

==> Formula = 1/2m*v^2

Where,

m = Mass of object.

v = velocity of object.

2). Potential energy:-

==> This energy stored in an object and is measured by the amount of work done.

==> Ex- pen on a table & water in a lake.

==> Formula = mgh

where,

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration.

h = height.

3). Mechanical energy.

4). Solar energy.

5). Wind energy.

6). Nuclear energy.

7). Geothermal energy.

8). Tidal energy.

9). Electrical energy.

10). Biomass energy.

11). Thermal energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

❤❤ Potential energy is a type of energy that is "hidden" in some way. It is a type of energy that can be converted to other forms and often is related to some attractive or pushing forces.

Elastic Potential Energy :- Anything that can act like a spring or a rubber band can have elastic potential energy

Gravitational Potential EnergyThere is a constant attractive force between the Earth and everything surrounding it, due to lift something off the ground it takes energy, so just by lifting an object, that object now has higher gravitational potential energy ❤❤

Hope it helps ✌
