Solution

Examples of stored energy

  1. When a guitar string is stretched while being played, it functions as a spring that stores elastic potential energy. When the string is plucked, the energy is converted to sound (pressure waves within the air).
  2. Chemical P.E. is contained inside the boundaries of hydrogen and carbon in the fuel in your car. The fuel is consumed within the engine as soon as you step on the accelerator, creating excitement and freedom (and kinetic energy).
