What is the difference between stored energy and usable energy

In biology, the energy that is stored in the bonds between compounds is termed as the chemical energy. This chemical energy is released and converted into different forms according to the functions of the body.

Potential energy can be described as the energy that is stored in an object. In physics, the energy that an object possesses while at rest is termed as the potential energy.

The energy that can be used during work is termed as the kinetic energy. In physics, kinetic energy can be described as the energy that an object possesses while in motion.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
