state the equation for gravitational potential energy and say what each of the parts mean?
Eg =m x g x h
m= mass[kg]
g=acceleration due to gravity[m/s2]
h=height[m]
state the equation for kinetic energy and say what each of the parts mean?
Ek =1/2 x m x v2
m=mass[kg]
v= speed [m/s]
what does each part of the elastic energy and equations?
Ee =1/2 x k x e2
k= spring constant [N/m]
e= extension [m]
what is specific heat capacity?
the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).
describe what each part of this equation mean ,[SHC equation ] ?
delta E = m x c x delta Celsius
m is the mass of the substance
c is its specific heat capacity
Δθ is the change in temperature
state the equation for power?
P = W/t
state the equation for power?
P = W x t
