Concept:

Forms of Energy

Definition

Heat Energy

The heat energy of an object is the overall energy of the molecules that arise due to the motion of the molecules.

Chemical Energy

The Energy produced by breaking or forming chemical bonds between atoms and molecules is called Chemical Energy

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its motion

\(KE=\frac 12mv^2\)

Where m = mass of a body

v = velocity of body

Potential Energy

The energy possessed by a body on account of its position or configuration [shape and size] is called potential energy.

 

Explanation:

From the above explanation, we can see that, 

  • When the arrow is drawn back or bow has stretched the energy from the arms is converted to elastic energy and stored in the form of Potential Energy.
  • While releasing the arrow from a stretched bow, this Potential Energy of the bow is converted into Kinetic energy
  • The energy possessed by a body on account of its position or configuration [shape and size] is called Potential energy.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its motion

\(KE=\frac 12mv^2\)

→ Where m = mass of a body

v = velocity of the body
