Systems of objects ranging from atoms to planets can be arranged in many ways, resulting in many forms of potential energy: chemical, elastic, electrical (electromagnetic), gravitational, nuclear, and thermal energy.

Examples of Gravitational Potential Energy

• A raised weight.
• Water that is behind a dam.
• A car that is parked at the top of a hill.
• A yoyo before it is released.
• River water at the top of a waterfall.
• A book on a table before it falls.
• A child at the top of a slide.
• Ripe fruit before it falls.

• Moving Car. Moving cars possess some amount of kinetic energy.
• Bullet From a Gun. A bullet fired from a gun has very high kinetic energy, and, so, it can easily penetrate any object.
• Flying Airplane.
• Walking & Running.
• Cycling.
• Cricket Ball.
• Skateboarding.
• A Bus Moving on the Hill.

Types of potential energy include:

• Gravitational potential energy.
• Chemical energy.
• Nuclear energy.
• Elastic potential energy, also called spring energy.
• Electrical potential energy especially in a capacitor.

Energy comes in six basic forms: chemical, electrical, radiant, mechanical, thermal and nuclear.

An object can have potential energy by virtue of its electric charge and several forces related to their presence. There are two main types of this kind of potential energy: electrostatic potential energy, electrodynamic potential energy (also sometimes called magnetic potential energy).

There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let us look at some of the kinetic energy examples and learn more about the different types of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. Examples of kinetic energy include walking, falling, flying, and throwing. Potential and kinetic energy are the two major types of energy.

What Are Examples of Potential and Kinetic Energy?

• 1) Planets. The movement of planets around the sun and other stars in the galaxy is kinetic energy at work.
• 2) Rubber Bands. Rubber bands can be classified as both potential and kinetic energy, depending on the state of the band.
• 3) Rivers.
• 4) Specific Variations.

Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts. However, it isn’t affected by the environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height. On the other hand, kinetic energy is the energy of an object or a system’s particles in motion.

For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m2 / s2.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1500-kg car moving at 25m/s. Here, Given- mass=1000kg Speed=20m/s Formula for Ek=1/2mv² Putting the value in the formula We get Ek=1/2×1000×20 =10000joules.

Muzzle energy is the kinetic energy of a bullet as it is expelled from the muzzle of a firearm. Without consideration of factors such as aerodynamics and gravity for the sake of comparison, muzzle energy is used as a rough indication of the destructive potential of a given firearm or cartridge.

KE=1/2 mv²

21,142 J

Given question: Which of the following bodies has the largest kinetic energy? As 24Mv² is the largest kinetic energy among others, ∴ body with mass 3M and speed 4v has the largest kinetic energy.

Total energy is the sum of all different types of energies a body can have. For a spring mass system, if the spring has mass, total energy is K. E+PE+½kx² where k is the spring constant.

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object’s mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton. meter (N. m).

The different types of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, motion energy, sound energy, elastic energy and gravitational energy.

Energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another.
