Kinds Of Potential Energy Flashcards
It is stored energy
Potential energy
The energy that has the ability to do something useful later on.
Potential energy
If higher the object, —- potential energy
More
—— mass, ——- potential ener
More
If objects fall, —— potential energy
Decrease
Forms of energy under potential energy:
Chemical energy
Elastic energy
Nuclear energy
Gravitational energy
Stored by an object by the application of a force.
Elastic energy
Stored in the bonds and atoms and molecules
Chemical energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, the energy that binds the nucleus together.
Nuclear energy
Nuclei combined or split apart
Nuclear energy
Process of nuclear energy:
Fission
Fusion
Nuclear power plast split the nuclei of uranium atom (the nuclei split and make more atoms)
Fission
When the sun combines the nuclei of hydrogen atoms into helium storms
Fusion
Energy of position or place
Gravitational potential energy
