Jun 25, 2019 · Potential energy is simply another name for (minus) the work done by a conservative force.Since the work-energy theorem states that change in energy minus work done is constant.

Dec 20, 2016 · Hello. I'm new to this forum and to Physics and Chemistry in general and I have a question that's making me go crazy: why does the potential energy decrease as two atoms (say, …

May 27, 2015 · Potential Energy (PE): This is the energy that is associated with the position or configuration of an object. Gravitational potential energy, for example, depends on an object’s height …

Oct 15, 2011 · Why is the change in potential energy the NEGATIVE of the work done by a force? What is the negative sign doing there, and what physical meaning does it serve? Any input is appreciated, …

Jul 30, 2024 · My understanding of this question is that, if you have a proton standing against a positive electric field, and move it in the opposite direction of the field, you're putting in work and therefore …

Sep 29, 2010 · Stronger bond= lower energy? why? "In an exothermic reaction, some of the potential energy stored in the chemical bonds is being converted to thermal...

Aug 8, 2020 · the gravitational potential energy of a body at any point is defined to be negative of the work done by the conservative force (gravity in this case) from...

Nov 16, 2016 · In my physics class I was told that potential energy can be negative because it relative, but i thought as long as something has room to fall it has a positive amount of potential energy. So …

Sep 29, 2016 · I'm studying relation between conservative force and potential energy,and getting a big question on change in potential energy is always negative. For...

Aug 4, 2017 · Homework Statement I'm trying to digest the concept of change in potential energy being set equal to a change in kinetic energy. Does this relationship...
