Kinetic Energy
Term | Definition |
---|---|
energy | The ability to cause change |
joules | Energy is measured in the unit of ____________ |
forms | There are two main _________ of energy |
potential | __________ energy is stored energy due to the interaction between objects or particles |
kinetic | __________ energy is energy due to motion |
speed | Kinetic energy of an object depends on two factors, __________ and mass |
equation | The mathematical __________ for kinetic energy is KE = ½mv2 |
increase | As you increase the mass of an object, the kinetic energy will ___________ , while a decrease in mass will decrease the kinetic energy |
proportional | The relationship between mass and kinetic energy is a linear __________ relationship |
doubles | The kinetic energy __________ as the mass of the object doubles |
speed | As you increase the ________ of an object, the kinetic energy will increase |
nonlinear | The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is a __________ (square) proportional relationship |
quadruples | The kinetic energy ____________ as the speed of the object doubles |
Formula for Kinetic Energy | KE = (1/2)mv² (Kinetic Energy = [1/2]mass x velocity²) |
