Potential energy is a type of energy that is "hidden" in some way. It is a type of energy that can be converted to other forms and often is related to some attractive or pushing forces.
Elastic Potential Energy
Anything that can act like a spring or a rubber band can have elastic potential energy.
Let's take the rubber band for example. To stretch the rubber band you have to use energy. That energy has now been turned into elastic potential energy. To get that energy back, just let go of the rubber band and its potential energy is converted primarily into kinetic energy.
Springs work the same way, but you can either stretch or compress them. Wind-up watches store potential energy in an internal spring when you wind them and slowly use this energy to power the watch.
Gravitational Potential Energy
There is a constant attractive force between the Earth and everything surrounding it, due to gravity.
To lift something off the ground it takes energy, so just by lifting an object, that object now has higher gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is typically converted into kinetic energy (an object falling) before it is converted into any other type of energy.
Hydroelectric power is generated this way. As the water falls, it turns a turbine, which pushes electrons around, creating an electric current

Answer from: Quest

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

2.22/3.33 points | previous answers tamucolphysmechl1 4.pre.002. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used on a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 2.40 m/s. (a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? magnitude 3.33 m/s correct: your answer is correct. direction correct: your answer is correct. (b) is this collision elastic?
