Module 8 energy

• Mechanical energy energy present in an object that is due to objects motion or position. Equal to the sum of KE AND PE
• Kinetic energy base on motion
• Potential energy based on position
• 2 types of potential energy

  •Gravitational

  •elastic
• Conservation of energy energy cannot be created nor be destroyed, but it can transformed from one form to another
• Conservatice forces can be expressed in terms of the potential energy function
