4. Definition
4.1. The ability to do work
4.1.1. Anytime something is caused it be in motion
4.2. Something able to produce change
5. Potential Energy
5.1. Stored Energy
5.1.1. Bonds of Atoms
5.1.1.1. Examples:
5.1.1.1.1. Atoms in wood that allow it to burn
5.1.1.1.2. Energy in the nucleus of atoms
5.1.1.1.3. Nutrients/atomic bonds in food (like glucose)
5.1.2. Position of parts
5.1.2.1. Examples:
5.1.2.1.1. Compressed spring
5.1.2.1.2. Gravity pulling something high, downwards
5.2. Factors of PE in a system:
5.2.1. Height/distance and mass
5.2.1.1. Gravitational PE = m • g • h
5.3. Distance affects the transfer of energy as such: When there is more distance, more energy dissipates into thermal energy in the air, as more is lost during the time it took to transfer. This means that there is less energy transferred the more distance there is.
