Energy & Efficiency Flashcards
1
Q
What is the formula for Gravitational potential energy?
A
Gravitational potential energy = Mass * Gravity * Height
2
Q
What is the formula for Kinetic energy?
A
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * Mass * (velocity) squared
3
Q
What is the Total mechanical energy?
A
Total mechanical energy =
Gravitational potential energy + Kinetic energy
4
Q
If there is no friction reacting, What is the same as the Gravitational potential energy lost?
A
Kinetic energy
5
Q
How do you measure Efficiency?
A
Useful Energy Output / Total Energy Input
