Vocab Section 1
The rate at which work is done, or energy is transferred.
Power
Good quality.
Virtue
The ability to do work or cause a change.
Energy
The greatest or highest amount, value, or measurement of something.
The transfer of energy that happens when a force moves an object in the direction of the force.
Work
A pattern of data that shows a greater increase with passing time.
Exponential Growth
What is the Equation for Potential Energy (PE)?
Potential Energy = Mass x Gravity x Height (PE = M x G x H)
Process where there is a change in energy from one form to another.
Energy Conversion
A unit used to measure energy or work.
Joule
Stored energy that an object has because of its position, shape, or condition.
Potential Energy (PE)
Stored energy when an object is stretched, compressed, or bent.
Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)
The energy that an object possesses when in motion.
Kinetic Energy (KE)
What is the Equation for Kinetic Energy (KE)?
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass x Velocity squared (1/2 M x V^2)
Stored energy an object has because of its height or position above the ground.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)
Where energy is moved from one object or place to another.
