Question

The uses of potential energy

Answer 1

Answer:

An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position.

Uses of potential energy are:-

• A trebuchet uses the gravitational potential energy of the counterweight to throw projectiles over two hundred meters.

• Springs are used for storing elastic potential energy.

• Archery is one of humankind's oldest applications of elastic potential energy.

• Gravitational force keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

• The food that we eat has some stored chemical potential energy. When food reaches our stomach, the same chemical potential energy is converted into the energy that our body utilizes.
