Mechanical Energy

Question 1

is a net force that can make a body change its displacement parallel to the force applied results in work done on a body

Answer 1

work

Question 2

it is the capacity to do work

Answer 2

energy

Question 3

is the sum energy of a body because it is moving or because of its relative position

Answer 3

mechanical energy (ME)

Question 4

the mechanical energy when a body is moving is called?

Answer 4

kinetic energy (KE)

Question 5

is the mechanical energy stored in a body because of its change in position

Answer 5

potential energy (PE)

Question 6

the potential energy that goes against the pull of gravity

Answer 6

gravitational potential energy (GPE)

Question 7

is the maximum amount of force used on a body to be deformed and to go back to its original shape

Answer 7

elastic limit

Question 8

this is the point of the spring where it is neither compressed nor stretched. It is also the point where the elastic body goes back to once the deforming force is removed

Answer 8

equilibrium point

Question 9

it states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only transformed from one form to another

Answer 9

law of conservation of energy

Question 10

means that there is nothing coming out from the outside of the system and is adding to or taking away from the system

Answer 10

closed system

Question 11

it is the loss of energy

Answer 11

dissipative force

Question 12

is the energy transformation that does not contribute to the body’s kinetic or potential energy

Answer 12

nonmechanical energy transformation
