the elastic force of a rubber band is the force that is coming off the rubber band as you pull the rubber band the force increases as the rubber band goes ferther. i learned that a elastic is a force when you are pulling something yourself and your thing is pulling further to make your force get stronger or increase.

energy

Article posted April 26, 2010 at 06:01 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1450

The energy changes from stored energy to chemical energy when the energy goes through the wire in to the thing you are powering and out the other wire back into the battery it is then called chemical energy this is what makes the battery go dead after all the stored energys gone. When you charge a battery it puts more stored energy in your battery then your battery will be able to be used again if your battery is rechargeable. if your battery is not rechargeable your battery is know useless. When you use a battery it goes from stored enegy in the battery to chemical energy.

Alessandro volta made the first battery in the 1800's. his batterys weren't practical because they were to big they were the size of a classroom. so he decided to use his batterys and make another branch of science called electrochemistry. some archaeologists believe that alessandro did not make the first battery because they found 3000 year old batterys made in baghdad that were made of clay.there is one thing that batterya have in common which is they all have stored chemical energy. that is ready to be turned into electrical energy. some batterys can hold more energy bacause of there capacity and it also depend on what the electodes and electrolytes are made of. there are two mane types of batterys which are dry cell and wet cell. a wet cell is like a car battery that is 12 volt to power bigger things such as cars and tractors and ect.  a dry cell battery has a interior of a zinc-carbon dry cell. it is filled with lots of electrolyets (mno2) which is a type of paste. this battery powers little things like flashlight toys and ect.   =http://=http://!!!THIS CONCLUDES MY BLOG HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND LEARNED LOTS=http://=http://!
