    Study Notes

    Hooke's Law

    • Hooke's Law states that the force required to deform a spring by a distance x is proportional to x, and is mathematically represented as F = -kx, where F is the force and k is the spring constant.

    Energy

    • Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is the energy an object possesses due to its position or height, and is calculated using the formula GPE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.

    Work-Energy Theorem

    • The Work-Energy Theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy.

    Motion

    • Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, and is a measure of an object's speed in a specific direction.

    Elastic Energy

    • Elastic energy is a type of potential energy stored in deformed objects, such as stretched springs or compressed materials, which can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
