Potential energy is ____________

Fill in the Blank

A pulled bow has what type of energy?

Fill in the Blank

When we release the bow it transfers its potential energy to the form of a moving arrow. We call this type of energy:

​Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy depends on two things: speed and mass. The faster something goes, the more kinetic energy it has. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it can have.

What ways can potential energy be stored?

Gravitational energy is potential energy stored in an objects height.

Poll

Which of these do you think has gravitational energy?

• A rock at the top of a hill

• A stretched rubber band

• Ripe fruit before it falls

• A coiled spring

Elastic energy is potential energy stored in the stretching or compression of an object.

Thermal Energy is stored in an objects t​emperature.

Chemical Energy is potential energy stored in chemical bonds. This energy is released during chemical reactions.
