Question
Download Solution PDFWhat kind of energy does a yo-yo have before it is released?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Potential energy.
- Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
- Before a yo-yo is released, it is held at a certain height, giving it gravitational potential energy.
- This energy is converted into kinetic energy as the yo-yo is released and starts to move.
- Potential energy is a fundamental concept in physics, often contrasted with kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
Additional Information
- Kinetic energy: This is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. A yo-yo has kinetic energy when it is moving up and down.
- Chemical energy: This is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Ex-battery
- Light energy: This is the energy carried by light waves. ex-laser
