potential (plural potentials)

  1. Currently unfulfilled capacity to improve, develop, and achieve impressive feats.
    Even from a young age it was clear that she had great musical potential.
  2. Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentiality.
  3. (physics) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the center.
  4. (physics) The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work; hence, the degree of electrification as referred to some standard, as that of the earth; electro-motive force.
  5. (grammar) A verbal construction or form stating something is possible or probable.

What are the potential health consequences of eating 50 cups of yogurt in a 12 hour span?
Q. My friend is going to attempt this, and is going to try to break through the 50-yogurt mark. He has lots of incentive to do so (people have made large bets against him). Are there any limitations he should know about, or potential dangers?

How to find the potential difference between plates?
Q. If a proton travels between two oppositely charged plates (that start from rest). And the proton hits the negative plate at a speed of 3.8 x 104 m/s. How would you find the potential difference between the plates?
Asked by Question-er - Tue Mar 27 19:09:55 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The potential between the plates times the charge on the proton is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the proton. Therefore .5*m*v^2 = V*q, or V = .5*m*v^2 / q m = proton mass q = proton charge v = change in proton velocity
