Kinetic energy represents the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
What is the formula for elastic potential energy?
elastic potential energy = 0.5 x spring constant × (extension)²
Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed.
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strength × height
This formula calculates the potential energy stored due to an object’s position in a gravitational field.
What is the formula for change in thermal energy?
change in thermal energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
This equation is used to calculate the energy required to change the temperature of a substance.
How is power defined in terms of energy transferred?
power = energy transferred / time
Power measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted.
What is the formula for efficiency?
efficiency = useful output energy transfer / total input energy transfer
Efficiency indicates how effectively energy is converted from one form to another.
What is the relationship between charge flow, current, and time?
charge flow = current × time
This formula relates electric charge to current and the time duration over which it flows.
What is the formula for potential difference?
potential difference = current x resistance
Potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge.
What is the formula for power in terms of potential difference and current?
power = potential difference × current
This formula calculates the electrical power consumed in a circuit.
What is the formula for power in terms of current and resistance?
power = (current)² x resistance
This relationship shows how power dissipates in a resistive component.
What is the formula for energy transferred in terms of power and time?
energy transferred = power x time
This equation is used to find out how much energy is consumed over a specific time period.
What is the formula for energy transferred in terms of charge flow and potential difference?
energy transferred = charge flow * potential difference
This formula helps calculate the energy transferred by electric charge.
What is the formula for density?
density = mass / volume
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
