Usage Examples English
- This stretching gives the potential energy that will help maintain blood pressure during diastole, as during this time the aorta contracts passively.
- Because there is no arrow to receive the stored potential energy, almost all the energy stays in the bow.
- Oxygen gas (O2) drives cellular respiration, the process by which animals release the chemical potential energy stored in food, producing carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct.
- Other forms of potential energy include compressed gases (such as pneumatic motors), springs (clockwork motors) and elastic bands.
- Hydroelectric power plants are located in areas where the potential energy from falling water can be harnessed for moving turbines and the generation of power.
- This is a result of stored gravitational potential energy seeking a path of release over friction.
- A catapult uses the sudden release of stored potential energy to propel its payload.
- Each isomer is a local minimum on the energy surface (called the potential energy surface) created from the total energy (i.e., the electronic energy, plus the repulsion energy between the nuclei) as a function of the coordinates of all the nuclei.
- In chemical thermodynamics, the term used for the chemical potential energy is chemical potential, and sometimes the Gibbs-Duhem equation is used.
- Inflation will occur in virtually any universe that begins in a chaotic, high energy state that has a scalar field with unbounded potential energy.
- The shape of the water's surface can be found in a different, very intuitive way using the interesting idea of the potential energy associated with the centrifugal force in the co-rotating frame.
- ground state to first excited state, it must absorb or emit a photon at an energy matching the difference in the potential energy of those levels, according to the Niels Bohr model, what can be precisely calculated by the Schrödinger equation.
- If there is a change in the potential energy of a system; for example μ1>μ2 (μ is Chemical potential) an energy flow will occur from S1 to S2, because nature always prefers low energy and maximum entropy.
