What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

What is an example of chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. An example is the energy stored in food.

Front

What happens to energy in a closed system according to the Law of Conservation of Energy?
