Most of our picks are sizable metropolises â Honolulu, Seattle, Minneapolis and Tucson â although others, like Missoula, Mont., have more of a small town feel. To make our list, cities had to be in or near great nature areas, ranging from Alaska to Florida. We picked places that offer opportunities to view abundant wildlife, and vistas of undeveloped land that inspire.
1 Kinetic energy is energy in motion while potential energy is energy at rest. 2  The term âkinetic energyâ was coined by William Thomson while âpotential energyâ was coined by William Rankine.  Examples of kinetic energy are: a teacher writing on the blackboard, picking up a pencil, playing basketball.
There are two principal forms of energy: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of movementâââthe motion of molecules, for example. The second form of energy, potential energy, or stored energy, is more important in the study of biological or chemical systems.n an oxidation-reduction reaction, the total voltage change (change in electric potential) Î´ E is the sum of the voltage changes (reduction potentials) of the individual oxidation or reduction steps. Because all forms of energy are interconvertible, we can express Î´ E as a change in chemical free energy (Î´ G).
