    Study Notes

    Kinetic Energy

    • Calculated using the formula: 0.5 × Mass (kg) × Velocity² (m/s).
    • Represents the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

    Thermal Energy

    • Determined by the formula: Mass (kg) × Specific Heat Capacity (J/kg°C) × Temperature Change (°C).
    • Indicates the energy associated with the temperature change of a substance.

    Gravitational Potential Energy

    • Formula: Mass (kg) × Gravitational Field Strength (N/kg) × Height (m).
    • Describes the energy stored in an object due to its position above the ground.

    Elastic Potential Energy

    • Calculated using: 0.5 × Spring Constant × Extension².
    • Reflects the energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring.

    Power

    • Defined as Energy Transferred divided by Time (s).
    • Measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

    Energy Efficiency

    • Expressed as: (Useful Energy (J) / Total Energy (J)) × 100.
    • Indicates the percentage of energy that is converted into useful work, highlighting losses in energy conversion processes.
