How To Use potential energy In A Sentence

  • The analytical solutions of the Poisson equation in toroidal coordinates are, unfortunately, very complicated and it is not possible to extract the [epsilon] dependence of the potential energy of an ion from them.
  • The third property of a polymer which affects its mechanical behaviour is the between-chain potential energy.
  • Energy in the form of work would have to be imparted to the object by an external force in order for it to gain this height and the corresponding potential energy.
  • The buoyancy force was calculated from the potential energy difference between the overriding continental plate and the subducting oceanic plate.
  • One of the models and/or concepts used excessively in physics is the potential energy well.
  • Only then can you control the release of that huge potential energy during a race. FRANKIE: The Autobiography of Frankie Dettori
  • Most of the particles begin the procedure with positions and momenta that trap them within a well of potential energy; only a few have enough energy to escape over a barrier.
