Energy
The Nature of Energy/Conservation of Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy a moving object has because of its motion | Kinetic energy |
| SI unit of energy | Joule |
| Stored energy due to position | Potential energy |
| Energy stored by something that can stretch compress, such as a rubber band or a spring | Elastic potential energy |
| Energy stored in chemical bonds | Chemical potential energy |
| Energy stored by objects by objects due to their position above Earth's surface | Gravitational potential energy |
| Energy cannot be created or destroyed | Law of conservation of energy |
| What is the formula for Mechanical Energy? | Mechanical Energy= potential energy + kinetic energy |
| What is the formula for Kinetic Energy? | KE=1/2mv^2 |
| What is the formula for gravitational potential energy(GPE)? | GPE=m*g*h |
