17
Q

what is gravitational potential energy

A

energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field

18
Q

what is the symbol for gravitational potential energy

A

U

19
Q

what is the equation for change in gravitational potential energy

A

ΔU = mgΔh

20
Q

what is said about the relationship between work and gravitational potential energy (2)

A

Objects raised against a gravitational force need work to be applied to do so (W = mg)

When objects fall in the direction of the field, work is done by the field

21
Q

what is the relationship between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy when an object is lifted

A

ΔUₜₒₚ = ΔKᵦₒₜₜₒₘ

22
Q

what is power

A

the rate at which work is done

23
Q

what is the symbol of power

A

P

24
Q

what is the equation for power (2)

A 
P = W/t
P = ΔE/t
25
