What is Gravitational Potential Energy affected by?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is affected by the height of an object above the ground and the force of gravity acting on it.

Front

Define Thermal Energy.

Back

Thermal Energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, which is the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

What type of energy is stored in a compressed spring?

Back

The energy stored in a compressed spring is called Elastic Potential Energy.

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

The formula for Gravitational Potential Energy is PE = mgh, where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy and potential energy are two forms of mechanical energy; as one increases, the other typically decreases in a closed system.

Front

What is an example of a transformation from chemical energy to thermal energy?

Back

An example is burning wood in a fireplace, where the chemical energy in the wood is transformed into thermal energy (heat).

Front

What is the role of friction in energy transformations?

Back

Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, often resulting in heat loss in mechanical systems.
