concept 2.1, unit 2: types of energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - nuclear
        
        stored in the nucleus of an atom
        
        nucleus contains positively charged protons that exert a repulsive electric force on each other
        
        The force holds all of these protons close together and overcomes the electric force
        
        when we do nuclear fission/fusion, release very large amounts of potential energy
      - electrical
        
        depends on:
        
        distance between charged particles
        
        strength of the electric charges
        
        Two similarly charged particles will experience a very strong repulsive force when you move them close to one another
        
        means that there is a lot of electric potential energy stored in the configuration of the two particles
      - ggravitational
        
        energy stored in an object that has been lifted up against the force of gravity
        
        released, the force of gravity does the work to move a mass down toward Earth’s surface
        
        amount depends on:
        
        mass
        
        height of an object above its rest position
        
        PE=mgh
        
        PE:potential energy
        
        m=mass
        
        g=acceleration
        
        h=height
      - chemical
        
        stored in the chemical bonds between molecules and atoms
        
        if broken apart, release the stored energy
      - elastic
        
        potential energy associated with stretched or compressed objects
        
        the farther you stretch or compress the mass from its rest position, the more potential energy you store in it
        
        depends on
        
        stiffness
        
        the more stiff, the more needed energy to compress/stretch
  - - - electric potential are stored in the bonds (depends on the types of bonds and the distance between the atoms)
  - - - motion
      - depends on
        
        speed
        
        the heavier and faster, the more kinetic energy it has
        
        mass
      - transferred to object any time an unbalanced force acts on it
- - - - convection: warmer and cooler fluids move due to differences in density
      - radiation: heat transfer through electromagnetic waves
      - conduction: molecules in substances directly transfer kinetic energy to each other
  - - - Depends on number of atoms, temperature,states of matter
