    Study Notes

    Energy

    Types of Energy

    • Kinetic Energy: the energy of motion
      • Associated with an object's motion
      • Depends on the object's velocity
      • Formula: KE = 1/2 * m * v^2 (where m is mass and v is velocity)
    • Potential Energy: the energy of position or stored energy
      • Associated with an object's position or state
      • Depends on the object's height, stretch, or configuration
      • Types:
        • Gravitational Potential Energy: energy due to an object's height or position in a gravitational field
          • Formula: U = m * g * h (where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)
        • Elastic Potential Energy: energy stored in stretched or compressed materials
          • Formula: U = 1/2 * k * x^2 (where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement)

    Key Concepts

    • Energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total energy remains constant (Law of Conservation of Energy)
    • Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy, and vice versa
    • Energy can be transferred from one object to another through work or heat

    Energy

    Types of Energy

    • Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion, depending on an object's velocity.
    • It is associated with an object's motion, and its formula is KE = 1/2 × m × v^2, where m is mass and v is velocity.
    • Potential Energy is the energy of position or stored energy, depending on an object's height, stretch, or configuration.
    • There are two types of Potential Energy: Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy.
    • Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy due to an object's height or position in a gravitational field, with the formula U = m × g × h, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
    • Elastic Potential Energy is the energy stored in stretched or compressed materials, with the formula U = 1/2 × k × x^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement.

    Key Concepts

    • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total energy remains constant.
    • Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy, and vice versa.
    • Energy can be transferred from one object to another through work or heat.
