Physics 23-24 Flashcards
The potential energy stored in chemical bonds of compounds
chemical energy
Work done by moving charges
electrical energy
The potential energy stored in the nucleas of an atom, when the nuclei of two in the nucleas of an atom, when the nuclei of two atoms combine this energy released
nuclear energy
Flowing water, wind, or any object in motion could be made to work because of its energy is released
kinetic energy
The measure of the force of gravitational attraction on an object
Vector Quantity
Mass Scalar
Mass can not change
(mass)(acceleration due to gravity)(height above ground)
Gravitational Potential Energy
9.81m/s^2
Acceleration due to gravity
If a force is used to stretch an elastic the force acts against the elastics for the material. This results in change shape of the elastic and the energy being stored
Elastic Potential Energy
This energy is stored in bonds of chemical compounds. When a chemical change takes place, the position of electrical charges are alter and energy is released. Any substance can be used to do work through a chemical reaction has potential energy
Chemical Potential Energy
Kinetic energy can
be quantified
1/2(mass of object)(speed)^2
Kinetic energy equation
A general form of energy that is a compound of kinetic energy and potential energy, because they are so compound related
Mechanical Energy
Kinetic energy + potential energy =
mechanical energy
Potential energy = kinetic energy (vice versa)
Law of Conservation of Energy
