Why is chemical energy a form of potential energy

The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a 1.2-m-diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of 2.7m/s. It then slows to a stop, while the cylinder turns one complete revolution.

How do informal and formal learning differ? One is more structured than the other. One requires less effort. One has less significance than the other. One is the best way to learn.

Each metal is illuminated with 400 nm (3.10 eV) light. Rank the metals on the basis of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons. (If no electrons are emitted from a metal, the maximum kinetic energy is zero, so rank that metal as smallest.
