This is measured in calories. 1 calorie is defined as the heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degC, though often the kilocalorie is used which is the same for 1 kg of water. Any object other than water will have its own specific heat capacity which depends entirely on the material it is made from. You can look up in tables the specific heat capacity of different materials. There is a fixed relation between heat energy and mechanical energy, which is that there are 4.2 Joules in 1 calorie.

Which objects have stored energy?

Some examples of objects that have stored energy are a compressed spring, a stretched rubber band, a charged battery, and a lifted weight. These objects contain potential energy that can be released and converted into kinetic energy when the stored energy is released.


What objects hold energy?

Objects such as batteries, capacitors, springs, and food contain stored energy. These objects can release their stored energy in various forms, such as electrical, mechanical, or thermal energy, when triggered by external factors.


How can energy be stored?

Energy can be stored in various forms such as chemical energy in batteries, potential energy in elevated objects, kinetic energy in moving objects, thermal energy in hot materials, and gravitational potential energy in raised weights. Different storage methods suit different energy needs and applications.


Is coffee thermal energy?

Yes, coffee can be considered a form of thermal energy as it contains heat energy. When coffee is hot, it has stored thermal energy that can be transferred to other objects or used to do work.


What kind of energy is stored in any compressed or stretched objects?

Elastic potential energy is stored in compressed or stretched objects. This type of energy is potential energy that is stored when an object is deformed (compressed or stretched) and has the potential to return to its original shape.


What type of energy is stored and depends on the interaction of objects particles or atoms?

Potential energy is the type of energy that is stored and depends on the interactions between objects, particles, or atoms. This potential energy can be stored in various forms, such as chemical, gravitational, or elastic potential energy.


What sort of energy is stored in objects in high positions?

Potential energy.


What are the forms of energy associated with the particles of objects?

kinetic and potential


Do objects gain energy when they are hot?

No, objects that gain energy become hotter.


What kind of energy is energy stored due to an objects position?

Gravitational potential energy


What is the stored energy resulting from the relative postions of objects in a system?

Potential Energy


What is energy that is stored in objects by application or force?

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in objects when work is done on them, such as applying a force to move an object to a higher position against gravity. This stored energy has the potential to do work when the object is allowed to move or return to its original position.
