Dynamite is traditionally made of an absorptive material (such as sawdust or diatomaceous earth) soaked in nitroglycerine, and packed in a paper, cardboard, or plastic cylinder, with a fuse extending from one end.
A typical stick of dynamite weighs around 1 pound.
A stick of dynamite stores chemical potential energy, which is released in the form of heat and pressure when the dynamite explodes.
The energy stored in a dynamite stick is chemical potential energy. This energy is released in the form of heat and pressure when the dynamite is detonated.
One stick of dynamite contains approximately 1,000 kilojoules of energy.
You can't.
Yes, it is true that dynamite that is unfused near a fuesed dynamite stick can "explode" due to the combustion of the other stick of dynamite "going off:.

On average, a stick of dynamite contains about 1 billion joules of energy. This energy is released in an explosive reaction when the dynamite is detonated.
No, a stick of dynamite is potential energy because it has the potential to explode and release kinetic energy.
A stick of unlit dynamite contains chemical potential energy, which is released when the dynamite is ignited and undergoes a rapid chemical reaction.
VERY carefully.
Yes, a stick of dynamite has potential energy due to the chemical energy stored within it. When the dynamite is ignited, this energy is released in the form of an explosive reaction, converting potential energy into kinetic energy.
A stick of mining dynamite typically looks like a cylindrical device with a fuse at one end. It is usually brown or reddish-brown in color and has a rough texture. Dynamite sticks are designed to be stable for transportation and handling but highly explosive when ignited.
