    or itself‚ it has energy. When you think of energy‚ you might think of action- or objects in motion‚ like the baseball that shatters a window. There are different forms of energy. Turn on an electric light and a dark room becomes bright. Turn on a music player and sound comes through your headphones. In both situations‚ energy moves from one place to another; effect and reaction. The two different types of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has

    types of forces involved. Two of the main forces experienced are called potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has depending on the position of it. For example the higher an object is the higher the potential energy is and the lower an object is the less potential energy it will have. Kinetic energy is also a main type of force that is involved with rollercoasters. Kinetic energy is the energy an object will have as it is in motion. There are many different types

    work the machines. Energy has everything and anything to do with my project. It is a very important term to understand. Energy is a very important factor that determines how far the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn’t have enough kinetic energy the car won’t go very far. According to my research‚ If work‚ which transfers energy‚ is done on an object by applying a net force‚ the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make

    Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision).  The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

(Refer to Figure 1 for a pictoral representation of these definitions.)  | Figure 1 Definitions | Torque is defined as = r x F = r F sin(). In other words‚ torque is the cross product between the distance vector (the distance from the pivot point to the point where force is applied) and the force vector‚ ’a ’ being the angle between

    KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy

For example‚ the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly‚ a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming
