physics formula and meaning Flashcards
what is kinetic energy
energy object has if it’s moving
gravitational potential energy
the energy an object has because of how high the drop is between the object and ground
gravity
the force that pulls objects towards each other
work done
if you push or pull something the amount of energy transfers when a force moves an object.
latent heat
the amount of energy required to change the state of a substance.
electrical power
how fast energy is used or made. It shows how much energy is used in a certain time.
thermal energy
Thermal energy is the heat energy in something. It’s caused by the movement of tiny particles. More movement means more heat.
Ek = 1/2mv
kinetic energy
ΔEp = mgΔh
gravitational potential energy
g = 10 N kg^−1
gravity on earth
W = Fd
work done
E(thermal) = mcΔT
thermal energy
E(thermal) = mL
latent heat
P = VI
electrical power
V = RI
electrical components interact in a circuit
