Energy Notes Review

Stored energy due to an object's height

Energy stored in a spring-like mechanism

Energy due to motion

Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred

The amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time

The energy transferred to or from an object by the application of force

What is the equation for Gravitational Potential Energy?

• PEg=mgh

• PEg = 1/2 mgh

• PEg = m^2gh

• PEg = mg/h

What is the equation for Elastic Potential Energy?

• PEs = Fd

• PEs = 1/2 mv^2

• PEs = mgh

• PEs = 1/2 kx^2

What is the equation for Kinetic Energy

• KE = 0.5 * m * v
• KE = m * v^2
• KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
• KE = m + v^2

What is the equation for Work?

• W = F + x

• W = F * x

• W = F / x

• W = F - x
