Science pages 120-123 Flashcards
natural forces that cause potential energy
fundamental forces
attractive force between all material objects
gravitational force
model that represents the direction and strength of the body’s gravity at every point in space
gravitational field
potential energy that an object gains from the work used to move it against a gravitational filed
gravitational proportional energy
affects certain subatomic particles
weak nuclear force
electricity and magnetism are two different manifestations of ______
electromagnetic force
affects only objects with an electrical charge
electromagnetic force
responsible for all known forces in the universe except for the gravitational force and some subatomic forces
electromagnetic force
electromagnetic potential energy that a stationary charged object has to work to move it through another stationary object’s electric field
electric potential energy
electromagnetic potential energy caused by interacting magnetic fields
magnetic potential energy
energy resulting from the chemical combination of atoms into molecules
chemical energy
electromagnetic force attempting to maintain optimal distance between neighboring atoms or molecules
elastic potential energy
strongest fundamental force which acts only within the nuclei of atoms
strong nuclear force
binds subatomic particles together to form the nucleus of an atom
strong nuclear force
potential energy caused by the strong nuclear force
nuclear potential energy
