Energy changes Flashcards
1
Q
mass
A
stays the same
2
Q
speed
A
how fast or slow it goes
3
Q
speed difference
A
An object with more mass moving at a particular speed will have more kinetic energy than an object with less mass moving at the same speed.
4
Q
simplify: kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x speed2
A
K = 0.5 x m x v2
5
Q
Gravitational potential
A
Gravitational potential energy is not actual energy, but the possible energy that an object can gain due to its position in a gravitational field.
