Question 9 of 25Which of the following is a form of stored energy?A.Kinetic energyB.Sound energyC.Chemical potential energyD.Heat energy

Breakdown of the Problem

1. Identify the types of energy given in the options.
2. Determine which type is classified as stored energy.

Relevant Concepts

• Kinetic Energy: The energy of an object in motion.
• Sound Energy: Energy produced by vibrating sound waves.
• Chemical Potential Energy: Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
• Heat Energy: Energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often associated with the movement of particles.

Analysis and Detail

1. Kinetic Energy does not store energy; it represents energy in motion.
2. Sound Energy is also not stored; it is energy carried through sound waves.
3. Chemical Potential Energy is indeed stored energy found in the arrangement of atoms within molecules and is released during chemical reactions.
4. Heat Energy involves energy transfer due to temperature differences but is not stored in a form like chemical potential energy.

Verify and Summarize

The only option that represents a form of stored energy is Chemical Potential Energy, as it is energy stored within the structural arrangement of molecules.

Final Answer

C. Chemical potential energy
