what examples can you find in your home that are examples of kinetic and potential energy (name two for each type of energy)
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.
