What is the difference between potential and potential difference in physics?
In physics, potential refers to the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It is a scalar quantity and is measured in joules. On the other hand, potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential between two points in an electric field. It is a vector quantity and is measured in volts. In simple terms, potential is the energy stored in an object, while potential difference is the energy difference between two points.

Father Nature : The Science of Paternal Potential
How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers and why some are more involved than others. We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships.But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers.How, then, can we explain modern fathers with the capacity to be highly engaged parents?In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans. Paternal caregiving is highly advantageous to children and, by extension, to society at large, yet highly variable both across and within human societies.Rilling considers how to explain this variability, and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement.Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children s development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and finally, what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and 'younger' brains. A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much needed and deeply rewarding look at the science behind 'good' paternal behavior in humans.

The Great Mental Models: Physics, Chemistry and Biology
A cult bestseller in the US, available around the world for the first time, The Great Mental Models introduces the simple tools we all need to see the world clearly. Time and time again, great thinkers like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have credited their success to mental models: simple representations of how the world works that can be applied in a wide array of contexts.Mastering a small number of these concepts enables you to rapidly grasp new information, identify patterns others don’t, and better anticipate outcomes. The Great Mental Models introduces the most powerful models that anyone can use right away to improve decision making and productivity.In this volume, Shane Parrish introduces mental tools borrowed from the hard sciences in language anyone can understand, including:Leverage: When the application of a small force to one end results in a larger force at the other end. Inertia: An object (or organization) at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Activation Energy: The minimum amount of energy required to incite a chemical reaction. Building a latticework of mental models is one of the most powerful things you can do to become a better thinker, leader, or creator.The Great Mental Models is the accessible guide you need to unlock this ability.

What is the resting potential in biology?
The resting potential in biology refers to the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane of a neuron or muscle cell when it is not actively sending a signal. This potential is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more sodium ions outside the cell and more potassium ions inside. The resting potential is essential for the cell's ability to generate and transmit electrical signals, and it plays a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system and muscle cells.

What is the potential energy in physics?
Potential energy in physics is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or configuration. It is the energy that is stored within an object and has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy. The amount of potential energy an object has depends on its position relative to other objects or its configuration, and it can be calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.
