The G in GPE
What is Gravitational?
Energy from movement
What is KE?
Last word in phrase: "Energy can neither be created nor"
What is destroyed?
Another word for velocity
What is speed?
This can be negative because height can be negative.
What is GPE?
GPE is always a pull, never this
What is a push?
Kinetic means movement
What is the K stands in KE?
Total Energy means GPE at the top of a ramp will always equal KE at bottom if there's none of this
What is friction?
The final step in figuring out velocity.
What is square root?
Height can be negative because height is this.
What is relative?
Energy stored due to its position known as PE
What is Potential Energy?
The bottom of the swing in a pendulum
What is maximum Kinetic Energy?
Total Energy means half way down a ramp half the GPE will have converted into this.
What is Kinetic Energy?
M/S stands for this.
What is meters divided by seconds?
Only place it is impossible to dig a hole and turn zero GPE into positive GPE again is the center of where?
What is the Earth?
The Gravitational Constant
What is 9.81?
The amount of KE in a skier at the top of the slope
What is zero?
If you need the velocity at bottom of the ramp and you have GPE, you can sometimes sub in that number for this number
What is Kinetic Energy?
The reason Kinetic Energy can never be negative.
What is a negative times a negative?
Height is measured in this.
What are meters?
mass x Gravitational Constant x height
What is the formula for GPE?
.5 x mass x velocity squared
What is the formula for KE?
All of GPE is never converted into KE because of this.
What is friction and air resistance?
If you know the Kinetic Energy and the velocity it is easy to discover this.
What is mass?
The pull of gravity is going to be the same at any height on the surface of this.
What is Earth?
