What creates the mechanical potential energy in a kernel of popcorn?
The mechanical potential energy in a kernel of popcorn is created by the buildup of pressure inside the kernel as it is heated. When the temperature rises, the moisture inside the kernel turns into steam, causing the pressure to increase. Once the pressure exceeds the kernel's structural integrity, it rapidly expands, releasing the stored potential energy and leading to the popping sound and fluffy texture of the popcorn.
