Kinetic energy is energy due to object's motion. Kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and its speed. Kinetic energy increases when mass increases. You can find kinetic energy by using the formula kinetic energy equals one half times mass times speed to the second power. What is potential energy?
Some objects have stored energy as a result of their positions or shape.Potential energy is stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy related to an object's height is called gravitational potential energy. An object's gravitational potential energy depends on its way and on its height relative to a reference point. To find gravitational …show more content…
What is potential energy?
Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object is called potential energy.
2B.What factors affect an object's potential energy?
The factors that affect an object's gravitational potential energy are its height relative to some reference point, it's mass, and the strength of the gravitational field it is in.
2C. What is the potential energy of a 50-kg pole vaulter when she is 4 meters above the ground?
The potential energy of a 50-kg pole-vaulter when she is 4 meters above the ground is 200 J
3A. State the law of conservation of energy in your own words.
The law of conservation of energy is no energy is destroyed or erased from this world during transformation of energy.
3B. Describe the energy transformations that occur when you bounce a ball. When the ball impacts of surface, the ball compresses and this is where the energy is stored for a moment. So kinetic energy is turned into potential energy. Some of the energy is turn the heat where it hit the surface summer energy is also converted into sound. Because it uses energy for sound and Heat, the ball doesn't bounce as high as the bounce before it.
3C. Suppose a ball had potential energy of 5j when you dropped it. What would be its kinetic energy just as it hit the
