Questions and Answers

Match the following physicists with their contributions:

Gottfried Leibniz = Developed the principle that $E \propto mv^2$ Johann Bernoulli = Described kinetic energy as the living force, vis viva Willem 's Gravesande = Provided experimental evidence of the relationship between kinetic energy and $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ in 1722 Aristotle = Introduced the dichotomy between kinetic energy and potential energy based on concepts of actuality and potentiality

Match the following terms with their definitions:

Kinetic energy = The form of energy possessed by an object due to its motion Potential energy = The stored energy an object has due to its position or state Actuality = The state of being in action or having motion Vis viva = Described by Johann Bernoulli as the living force, related to kinetic energy

Match the following units with their corresponding measures:

Joule = SI unit of kinetic energy Foot-pound = English unit of kinetic energy Meter = Unit of distance in the SI system Second = Unit of time in both the SI and English systems

Match the following Greek words with their meanings:

<p>κίνησις (kinesis) = Motion ἐνέργεια (energeia) = Activity or operation δύναμις (dynamis) = Potentiality or power ἀκτιος (aktios) = Actual or in action</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following physics concepts with their proponents:

<p>Classical mechanics = Associated with Gottfried Leibniz and Johann Bernoulli's development of $E \propto mv^2$ principle Relativistic mechanics = Involves kinetic energy approximation when $v$ is much less than the speed of light Experimental evidence = Provided by Willem 's Gravesande regarding the relationship between kinetic energy and $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ in 1722 Potential energy concept = Can be traced back to Aristotle's concepts of actuality and potentiality</p> Signup and view all the answers
