Potential Energy

The video tutorial explains potential energy as stored energy due to an object's position. It provides examples such as a wrecking ball and an archer's bow to illustrate how potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, the energy of motion. The tutorial also covers energy dynamics in a golf swing, showing the transition from potential to kinetic energy. Finally, it poses a thought-provoking question about when a roller coaster reaches its maximum potential energy, encouraging viewers to apply their understanding.

What is potential energy and how is it defined?

Can you explain how potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy using the example of a wrecking ball?

Describe the process of energy transfer when an archer releases a bow.

How does a golfer create potential energy during a swing?

When do the cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum potential energy?
