Is a gallon of gas potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Is fossil fuels kinetic or potential energy?
I would actually describe the energy as chemical, as the energy is being used to hold the chemical bonds of the hydrocarbons together. But it is certainly not kinetic, so give these two choices the answer is potential. It is potential energy waiting for a chemical reaction.
The amount of energy in a chemical that can do useful work is called?
This would be its chemical potential energy, of course it depends on what other chemical(s) it is reacting with, such as oxygen.
Would driving to the store be potential energy?
A car which is moving has kinetic energy. It moves because the chemical energy in the fuel is being converted to kinetic energy. Sometimes we call the energy in the fuel chemical potential energy, though this is not the same thing as the gravitational potential energy which we usually refer to when we begin to study energy.
What is the definition of Chemical Potential Energy?
The amount of chemical energy an object or thing *could* use. An example of this would be like a battery to your cell phone. Not all the energy is transformed to display or sound, like you want. Some energy is turned into thermal energy, which cannot be used unless its in a heater.
Is there an energy advantage if diesel contains 17 percent more chemical potential energy than petrol?
Yes, the energy output of an engine is governed by the chemical potential energy of the fuels. Assuming that the extra potential energy could be turned into useful work, there would be an energy advantage of diesel over petrol.
Where the energy and food is stored until it i released?
It is in movement
Does a moving car have potential energy?
Yes, a moving car has kinetic energy due to its motion. However, it can also have potential energy if it is on an incline or hill where gravity is acting on it, causing it to have potential energy based on its position.
Is an inflated balloon kinetic or potential?
I'd say that an inflated balloon would be strain, but could you specify what potential energy? Chemical potential? Gravitational potential?
What is the best term to describe a chemical reaction in which the reactants have less potential energy than the products?
A chemical reaction whose reactants have less potential energy than the products would be called an endothermic reaction.
Where is the energy stored in a compound?
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of a compound, specifically in the arrangement of atoms and the interactions between them. When bonds are broken, energy is released, and when new bonds are formed, energy is absorbed.
What form is chemical energy?
Chemical energy is a form of potential energy that is stored within the chemical bonds of molecules. When these bonds are broken through a chemical reaction, the stored energy is released in the form of heat or work.
