It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
The measurement of kinetic energy in an object is calculated based on the object's mass and velocity. It is measured in Joules. Potential energy is a form of energy that results from an object's position or arrangement of parts. It is stored energy that can become kinetic energy. It includes potential electrical, chemical, and nuclear energy. The measurement of potential energy in an object is calculated based on the object's mass and its height or distance.
