Newton's 3rd Law and Energy Flashcards
Stored energy due to position.
Potential energy
Energy in the form of motion.
Kinetic energy
Energy stored by objects above earth’s surface.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)
When one object exerts a force on another object the other object exerts a force back.
Newton’s Third Law
Energy in the form of motion.
Kinetic energy
Energy stored due to position
Potential energy
Energy that is stored in something that is stretched or compressedq
Elastic potential
Energy stored in chemical bonds.
Chemical potential energy
Si unit of energy
Joule
The sum of potential and kinetic energy
Mechanical energy
the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant despite internal changes
The law of conservation of energy
