Kinetic Energy Examples:
1. A spinning ceiling fan: The moving blades of a ceiling fan demonstrate kinetic energy, as they are constantly in motion.
2. Running water from a tap: The flowing water from a tap possesses kinetic energy, as it moves through the pipes and into a sink or container.
Potential Energy Examples:
1. A stretched rubber band: A stretched rubber band contains potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy when released and the rubber band returns to its original shape.
2. A raised book on a shelf: A book placed on a shelf above the ground has potential energy due to its elevated position. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the book falls from the shelf.
what examples can you find in your home that are examples of kinetic and potential energy (name two for each type of energy)
