Types of Energy Concepts

The video tutorial explains the concepts of kinetic and potential energy using various examples. It starts with a boulder rolling down a mountain to illustrate kinetic energy and a boulder sitting high up to demonstrate potential energy. The tutorial further explores these concepts using a rubber band and gasoline, emphasizing that both kinetic and potential energy are forms of energy. The video concludes with a recap of these energy types, highlighting their significance in different contexts.

What type of energy does a boulder have when it is rolling down a mountain?

• Chemical energy

• Thermal energy
