Question

Which of the following is a form of potential energy?

Answer 1

Answer: For anyone taking an Ap3x quiz for whom the options are

A. Elastic energy

B. Light energy

C. Kinetic energy

D. Sound energy

The answer is Elastic energy.

Explanation: The reason is, potential energy is stored in the elastic object, just as it’s stored by position of the object in the more conmon case of gravitational potential energy.

Answer 2

Since a burning fire, a racing car, and boiling water all demonstrate kinetic energy, the correct answer is a chemical bond, which exhibits potential chemical energy.

Hope this helps.
