- River bank particle erosion
- Electric power generation
2) The flow of electrons that corresponds to the flow of electricity (in the reverse direction) to perform the following works;
3) The lifting of the hammer by the cam which gains gravitational potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as the hammer drops
The hammer is repeatedly lifted and dropped by the cam to do the following work
- Hammering a metal piece into shape
4) The chemical potential energy stored in bonds by virtue of the relative atomic distances which produces kinetic energy from the chemical potential energy
