Energy Flashcards
Gravitational field
Are region of space for an object experiences a force because of its mass
Gravity
Force of attraction at bodies have for each other because of the mass
Gravitational potential energy
Ep
Energy and object has by virtue of its position and that gravitational field gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object because of its position in a gravitational field relative to a reference point
Gravitational potential energy formula
Ep =mgh
Gravitational potential energy equals mass times nine, eight times height above reference point
Measured in Joules is the scaler quantity and the amount of energy transferred when one Newton of force acts on an object for 1 m
Potential energy
Energy and object has by virtue of its position state or shape it is stored energy it takes many forms such as chemical electrical and radiated
Kinetic energy
Ek
The energy than object has as a result of its motion
Kinetic energy formula
Ek = 1/2 m(v)square
Kinetic energy is equal to half mass times magnitude of the velocity squared
It is measured in Joules
Law of conservation of charge
Energy is never created or destroyed but can really be transferred from one form to another
Mechanical energy
Em
The sun of the car needed energy and gravitational potential energy of an object it remains constant because they transfers between kinetic and gravitational potential energy
mechanical energy formula
Em=Ek +Ep
Em =1/2 m(v)square +mgh
Ek1+Ep1=Ek2+Ep2
It is measured in Joules
Principle of conservation of mechanical energy
In the absence of air resistance and friction mechanical energy of an object moving in its gravitational field is constant
Ek1+Ep1=Ek2+Ep2
