Term | Definition |
---|---|
Kinetic energy | Energy that is related to an object's motion |
Potential energy | Energy that is held within an object due to its position or state |
Formula for kinetic energy | KE=1/2mv^2 |
Types of kinetic energy | Mechanical energy, thermal energy, electric energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, light/radiant energy |
Types of potential energy | Gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, chemical potential energy |
What is the law of conservation of energy | The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be transformed from one form into another or transferred from one region to another, but energy cannot be created or destroyed |
Energy transformation | Energy changing from one form to another within the same object |
Energy transfer | Energy transfering from one object to another |
Formula for Gravitational Potential Energy | GPE=MGH |
How much is the gravity in GPE=mgh | approx. ~9.8 (round it to 10) |
