Question
if you drop an object from twenty feet, it might shatter on the floor. the same object dropped from one foot might not. one reason is that an object held at twenty feet above the floor has more gravitational potential energy. if two objects have the same mass, the object farther from the floor has more gravitational potential energy. when its dropped, gravity pulls it down, transforming its potential energy into kinetic energy, or the energy of motion. gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are not the only kinds of energy. a battery, for example, is also full of energy. that energy, however, is stored in the bonds between the chemicals inside the battery. energy stored in chemical bonds is called chemical potential energy. when you connect a battery to a flashlight, for example, a chemical reaction releases the energy stored in the bonds, lighting up the flashlights bulb. which term matches the picture?
The text describes energy in a battery. Chemical potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the chemicals inside the battery. When connected to a flashlight, a chemical reaction releases this energy to light the bulb.
