kinetic energy
1/2 x mass x velocity^2
units for kinetic energy equation?
Kinetic energy = joules
mass = kg
velocity = m/s
Elastic potential energy
1/2 x spring constant x extension^2
units for elastic potential energy equation?
elastic potential energy = Joules
spring constant = N/m
extension = m
Gravitational potential energy
mass x gfs x height
units for gravitational potential energy equation?
GPE = Joules Mass = kg GFS = 9.8 N/kg height = m
Change in thermal energy
mass x specific heat capacity x change in temp
units for change in thermal energy equation?
change in thermal energy = Joules
mass = kg
SPC = joules / kg (in degrees C)
Change in temp = degrees C
