Gravitational and kinetic energy

Question 1

What is kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Movement energy

Question 2

What is gravitational potential?

Answer 2

Is the energy something has because of its position in the gravitational field

Question 3

How do you calculate the kinetic energy of something?

Answer 3

Ek = 0.5 x m x v squared

kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity squared

Question 4

What is the formula for gravitational potential (GPE)?

Answer 4

Ep = m x g x h
GPE = mass x GPE x height

Question 5

What is the GPE for earth?

Answer 5

10N/kg
