Energy Stores ⚡🏪 - Physics

Magnetic energy store - the energy stored when poles attract or repel 🧲

E.g.: Fridge magnets, compasses, maglev trains which use magnetic levitation

Internal (thermal) energy store - the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object aka the kinetic energy/vibrations of particles. Hotter object 🔥-> MORE internal energy (particles vibrate faster)

E.g.: Human bodies 🤾🏼, hot coffees ☕, stoves or hobs. Ice particles 🧊 too, just they vibrate slower.

Chemical energy store - the energy stored in chemical bonds, like the bonds between molecules

E.g.: Food, fuel, certain chemicals found in batteries

Kinetic energy store - the energy store of a moving object

E.g.: Any moving object, really

Electrostatic energy store - the energy stored when charges (protons+ & electrons-) attract/repel

Elastic potential energy store - the energy store of an object that is being squashed/stretched

Gravitational potential energy store - the energy of an object above the surface of the Earth 🌍 - the higher the object is, the higher its gravitational potential energy

E.g.: Planes ✈️, cups on tables 🍺, birds 🕊️, etc.

Nuclear energy store - the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

E.g.: Uranium nuclear power, nuclear reactors

You know what B.B.C. Sounds? I do know someone doing their G.C.S.E Biology exams this week!

Me.

Bloody me.

So kind of you to remind me, we must speak more often.

If Rishi Sunak actually goes through with 'mandatory Maths A levels for all students', I would like to know some things.

Does this mean he is going to give schools more funding to employ more teachers to teach more A level maths?

What about the people who already struggle with GCSE maths and will have their mental health impacted?

Will he fund more schools to have propper mental health systems and more student support staff to support those students?

Will he fund study programs for people failing the A levels?

Just going to say, that the GCSE maths curriculum is ridiculously hard and unnecessary as is for students, and students who are not interested in going into a maths oriented career do not need to take A level maths.

I personally am currently in my first 3 weeks of GCSE maths, and I understand NONE OF IT, so if Rishi could please explain what he will do to help kids like me when they eventually reach A levels after a gruelling 2 years of not understanding GCSE maths and getting bad grades, that would be fantastic, but he won't, so we just have to wait and see what bullshit he does.

absolutely wild to me that your whole life is defined by exams you took when you were seventeen. their brains are not even fully developed yet. please pick a lane, adults. you dismiss their words. you call young people stupid and unable or not old enough to have good opinions or make choices or participate in the choosing of their own futures and yet you define their futures by one little test. well guess what an exam has a fuckton of choices and if they can't be trusted to have an opinion on their own lives then maybe they can't be trusted to make academic choices on a test either. either you give us a voice or you will not hear until it's too late

there must be a weird domino effect between discovering fanfiction at 10 years old, and getting HIGHHH grades in english.

Throwback to my old computer science teacher, who left when I was in Year 9, who told me before I knew I was trans that I should consider going into the computer science field because I was good at it and there wasn't enough woman in computer science.

And now I'm sitting here, now a full-fledged guy, having failed my computer science gcse and not considering taking that any further anyway

Currently battling deadlines for my essays 😅

[huh-j]

Me studying nonstop because I won’t settle for anything less than the highest possible grade…

Chemical Symbols - Chemistry

The name of an element depends on the language being spoken

However, the world of science forms a global 🌍community

That is why we have chemical symbols; universal 1 or 2 letter symbols each representing an element - so every scientist, no matter what nationality can understand! 😄
