CHEMICAL ENERGYI STORED IN FUEL Arf first, chemical energy is stored in the fuel carried by the rocket that places the satellite in orbit. ROCKET GAINSI KINETIC ENERGY - As the rocket lifts off, some of this energy becomes kinetic energy, which increases with the rocket's speed. SATELLITEHAS STEADY POTENTIAL ENERGY Mn XA While the rocket is rising, its gravitational potential energy also increases. Potential energy is energy that is stored - a sate ...
