单词 potential energy
释义
potential energy

Physics
  • See energy.


Mathematics
  • With every conservative force there is associated a potential energy, often denoted as V, defined up to an additive constant. The change in potential energy during a time interval is defined to be the negative of the work done by the force during that interval. In detail, the change in V during the time interval from t1tt2, or equally from position r =  p1 to r =  p2 is equal to

    t1t2F·vdt=p1p2F·dr

    where v =  dr/dt is the velocity of the point of application of the conservative force F. For example, if F = −k(xl)i, as in Hooke’s law, then V=12k(xl)2, taking the potential energy to be zero when x =  l. In problems involving gravity near the Earth’s surface it may be assumed that the gravitational force is given by F =−mgk, and then, taking the potential energy to be zero when z = 0, V = mgz. See also gravitational potential energy.

    Potential energy has the dimensions ML2T−2, and the SI unit of measurement is the joule.


Chemistry
  • See energy.


Chemical Engineering
  • The capacity of a body to do work due to its elevation above a reference point. It is the product of weight and height.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • See elevation potential energy; hydraulic head.
