  • a bicyclist pedaling up a hill: Kinetic energy (due to motion) and Potential energy (as height increases)
  • a volleyball player spiking a ball: Kinetic energy (due to motion)
  • the chemical bonds in sugar: Potential energy (stored chemical energy)
  • walking down the street: Kinetic energy (due to motion)
  • a bowling ball rolling down an alley: Kinetic energy (due to motion)
  • an archer with his bow drawn: Potential energy (stored elastic potential energy)
  • a baseball thrown to second base: Kinetic energy (due to motion) and Potential energy (due to height above the ground)
  • the wind blowing through your hair: Kinetic energy (due to the motion of air molecules)
  • sitting in the top of a tree: Potential energy (due to height)
  • a bowling ball sitting on the rack: Potential energy (due to height)
