什么是 The forms of energy?

又称: potential energy

Definition 70.1 Primary & Middle School Physics · 第 70 章 — Forms of Energy and Conversions

The forms of energy, formally presented: kinetic energy — motion’s share, 12mv2\frac12 m v^2; potential energy — stored by position or arrangement (the lifted, the stretched, the compressed); thermal energy — the disordered molecular jiggling that temperature measures; chemical energy — stored in matter’s arrangements: food, fuels, batteries; electrical energy — the marching current’s deliverable; radiant energy — carried by light itself, sunshine’s shipping form; and nuclear energy — locked in the atom’s core, the deepest store humans have opened.

示例

Example 70.3 (The great trade: EpE_p against EkE_k)

Drop a ball from height hh: as it falls, its account transfers, joule by joule, from potential to kinetic. At the ground, the whole mghm g h has become 12mv2\frac12 m v^2 — set them equal and the mass cancels:

v=2gh,v = \sqrt{2 g h},

this year’s square root earning its keep. From 20 m20\,\mathrm{m}: v=2×9.8×20≈20 m/sv = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 20} \approx 20\,\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s} — seventy kilometres per hour, mass be what it may. The pendulum plays the trade both ways forever (minus a whisper to the air); the skateboarder in the half-pipe likewise: height to speed to height, the two formulas passing one sum back and forth.
