Question

1. write pe next to the types of potential energy and ke next to the types of kinetic energy.

______ gravitational
______ sound
______ chemical
______ nuclear
______ radiant
______ thermal
______ elastic
______ electrical

Explanation:

Potential energy (PE) is stored energy based on position or state. Kinetic energy (KE) is energy of motion.

• Gravitational: Stored by position in a field (PE)
• Sound: Energy of vibrating particles (KE)
• Chemical: Stored in molecular bonds (PE)
• Nuclear: Stored in atomic nuclei (PE)
• Radiant: Energy of moving light waves (KE)
• Thermal: Energy of moving particles (KE)
• Elastic: Stored by deformed objects (PE)
• Electrical: Energy of moving charged particles (KE)

Answer:

PE gravitational
KE sound
PE chemical
PE nuclear
KE radiant
KE thermal
PE elastic
KE electrical
