Dynamite is an example of what type of potential energy?

  • Correct Answer: thermal
  • carbon
  • mineral
  • chemical

Explanation: Dynamite is another example of chemical potential energy. The major component of dynamite is nitroglycerin, a very unstable material. By mixing it with diatomaceous earth, the stability is increased and it is less likely to explode if it receives a physical shock. When ignited, the nitroglycerin explodes rapidly, releasing large amounts of nitrogen and other gases along with a massive amount of heat.
