ocr: Explosive energy Explosives store a large amount of energy. Their energy: 1S stored in the atoms of which they are composed. The atoms use energy to bind themselves together, but during an explosion, they break apart, releasing this energy as heat. Energy that is stored is called potential energy. When it is stored: in explosives or other chemicals it is also known as chemical energy. Just one kilogram of dynamite can release up to six million joules of energy- thats enough energy to keep a light bulb working for several days. The power of an explosion is the rate at which it releases energy. ...
