Potential energy

The video tutorial explains potential energy, including gravitational and elastic potential energy. It describes how potential energy can be stored and converted into other forms, such as kinetic energy. The tutorial provides examples of objects raised against gravity and those that are squashed or stretched, illustrating the concepts of gravitational and elastic potential energy.

What is potential energy primarily associated with?

• An object's temperature

• An object's position

• An object's speed

• An object's color

Which type of potential energy is stored when an object is lifted against gravity?

• Thermal potential energy

• Chemical potential energy

• Elastic potential energy

• Gravitational potential energy

What type of potential energy is present in a stretched or compressed object?

• Magnetic potential energy

• Elastic potential energy

• Electrical potential energy

• Nuclear potential energy

Potential energy can be transformed into which of the following forms of energy?

• Sound energy

• Kinetic energy

• Light energy

• Thermal energy

Which statement is true about potential energy?

• It cannot be converted into other forms of energy.

• It is always greater than kinetic energy.

• It is only present in moving objects.

• It has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy.
