This is the amount of force applied over a certain distance. _____ = Force x distance
What is Work?
This is the amount of stored energy in an object based on it's height. _____ = m * g * h
What is Potential Energy (PE)?
This is the amount of energy an object has while moving. _____ = 1/2*m*v^2
What is Kinetic Energy?
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or change forms.
What is Conservation of Energy?
This type of energy is not very useful to us. It is not mechanical energy.
What is dissipated energy?
The direction of displacement and the direction of the force applied are in the SAME DIRECTION. This means that work will be a _____ value.
What is a positive value?
An object falls from a height h with 0 air resistance. The object is at one half (1/2) its original height. The potential energy lost is equal to this energy gained.
What is Kinetic Energy gained.
The direction of displacement and the direction of the force applied are in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION. This means that work will be a _____ value.
What is a negative value?
Before an object begins to fall, the Total Mechanical Energy an object has is equal to its ______.
What is Potential Energy?
A pendulum is swinging back and forth. As the pendulum moves from its lowest point to its highest point, its energy transfers from Kinetic Energy to this type of energy.
What is Potential Energy
The direction of the displacement and the direction of the force are PERPENDICULAR TO EACH OTHER. This means that the amount of work done will be _____.
What is 0 Joules?
An object moves down a ramp without friction. The object loses potential energy and gains this type of energy.
What is Kinetic Energy?
A hot wheels car is moving down a ramp WITH friction. The potential energy the car started with is now these types of energy.
What is Kinetic Energy and Thermal/Heat Energy
The change in energy is equal to work is called _____.
What is the work-kinetic energy equation?
