100%

I'm trying to understand the different types of energies.  I understand the definitions, but when I apply them to situations, it doesn't make much sense to me.

I have the following:

A. Entrophy - measure of the amt of disorder, or randomness in a system

B. Kinetic Energy - Energy in Motion

C. Heat - kinetic energy contained in the random motion of atoms & molecules

D. Chemical Energy - type of potential energy which arises from the arrangement of atoms and be release in chemical reactions

E. Conservation of Energy: Kinetic to Potential Energy - its not possible to destroy or create energy

F. Conservation of Energy: Potential to Kinetic

G. Potential Energy - Energy an object has because of its location or structure

 

When I try to apply to the following, I come up with this:

A: A Glass falls off the shelf & breaks

B. An orange falling from a tree

C. During exercise you get extremely hot.

D Animals consume food (organic molecules) to make ATP to walk, breathe, etc.

E. A large rock sits on top of the mountain

F. Plantsuse the energy of sunlight to make organic molecules.

G. Gasoline in a portable gasoline container.

 

Were my descriptions correct? Thanks!
