Potential energy
Cards (8)
- Energy : the ability to do work, measured in Joules (J)
- Conservation of energy : energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another
- System : an object or a group of objects
- Types of energy transfers : heating, work done by a force, and electric current in a circuit
- GPE : The total energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field
- GPE : mass x gfs x height
- EPE : The total energy stored by an object being stretched or compressed.
- EPE : 0.5 x spring constant x extension²
