A rock on top of a mountain contains POTENTIAL ENERGY. The reason for this is that potential energy means that it has the potential to become another form of energy, like kinetic. If a rock is sitting on a mountain, it's not moving. Once it moves, it has KINETIC ENERGY. For example; I'm sitting on top of a mountain.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and is given by the equation E = (1/2) m v. If m is in kg, and v in m/s, then E is in joules. A one gram rock (m = 0.001 kg) moving at 2.4 km/sec (2400 m/s), has kinetic energy is 2645 joules = 0.6 Calories, approximately equal to the chemical energy stored in a gram of TNT.o if you cut back by 500 Calories per day, you will consume about 70 grams of your own fat per day, 500 grams per week, equal to a little more than a pound per week. Alternatively, you can lose that pound per week by working out at 1/7 horsepower for one hour every day, seven days per week.
