Energy Transformations

Front

What is Energy Transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground, influenced by gravity.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the value of gravitational acceleration (g)?

Back

The value of gravitational acceleration (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What happens during energy transformations?

Back

During energy transformations, energy changes from one form to another without being created or destroyed.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

An example of potential energy is a rock positioned at the top of a hill.

Front

Give an example of kinetic energy.

Back

An example of kinetic energy is water falling down a waterfall.

Front

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical Energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
