This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. This is a pretty open-ended question: it's asking us to describe a system that we use daily with internal potential energy. So the mouse that I am using for clicking around here has a spring in it and that spring has some elastic potential energy inside of it and you could also talk about lots of other things... when I ride a bike, there's elastic potential energy in the tires... and you know there's... chemical potential energy in the battery of my phone and so on and so on. Okay!
