Energía potencial

The video tutorial explains potential energy, focusing on gravitational and elastic types. It describes how objects moving against gravity store potential energy and how deformation leads to elastic potential energy. The tutorial concludes with the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy.

What type of energy is stored when an object moves against gravity?

• Chemical energy

• Gravitational potential energy

• Thermal energy

• Kinetic energy

Which of the following is an example of elastic potential energy?

• A lit candle

• A rock at the top of a hill

• A compressed spring

• A moving car

What is a common characteristic of objects storing elastic potential energy?

• They are deformed or compressed

• They are heated

• They are at a high altitude

• They are always in motion

What happens to potential energy when it is transformed?

• It turns into sound energy

• It remains unchanged

• It disappears

• It becomes kinetic energy

Which type of energy transformation is possible with potential energy?

• Potential energy to kinetic energy

• Potential energy to thermal energy

• Potential energy to light energy

• Potential energy to sound energy
