calculating kinetic energy and gravitation potential energy Flashcards
1
Q
what is kinetic energy?
A
energy stored in a moving object
2
Q
do stationary objects have kinetic energy?
A
no
3
Q
what is the formula for kinetic energy?
A
Ek (J) = 0.5 x mass (kg) x velocity^2 (m/s)
4
Q
what is gravitational potential energy?
A
energy stored in an object due to its position above the earth’s surface, due to force of gravity acting on an object
