FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. It is often associated with gravitational energy, where an object at a height has potential energy relative to the ground.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is kinetic energy?
Back
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is mechanical energy?
Back
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system. It represents the total energy available for doing work.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How is gravitational potential energy (GPE) calculated?
Back
Gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula GPE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above a reference point.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for power?
Back
Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. The formula is Power = Work / Time.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to mechanical energy in a closed system?
Back
In a closed system, the total mechanical energy remains constant, as energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
