Front

What is the formula for Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy (KE) + Potential Energy (PE)

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass (m) x gravitational acceleration (g) x height (h) = mgh

Front

What is the term for the energy transferred when an object is moved by a force?

Back

Work

Front

True or False: An object sitting on the ground has higher gravitational potential energy than if it were on the top of a shelf.

Back

False

Front

Which type of energy is known as the energy of motion?

Back

Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on mass, height, and gravitational acceleration.

Front

How do you calculate work done?

Back

Work = Force x Distance x cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.

Front

What is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of energy is the Joule (J).
