Question

matching forms of energy
match each form of energy with its description.
energy of an object because of its potential and kinetic energy
energy of an object because of its height above a surface
energy stored in a compressed or stretched object
elastic potential energy
gravitational potential energy
mechanical energy

Explanation:

• Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a compressed or stretched object.
• Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object because of its height above a surface.
• Mechanical energy is the energy of an object because of its potential and kinetic energy.

Answer:

• elastic potential energy: energy stored in a compressed or stretched object
• gravitational potential energy: energy of an object because of its height above a surface
• mechanical energy: energy of an object because of its potential and kinetic energy
