|
Is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
|
|
|
|
Kinetic Energy
|
Is an energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
|
|
|
|
Mechanical Energy
|
Is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
|
|
|
|
Conservation of Energy
|
The law states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant - it is said to be conserved over time.
|
|
|
|
Work
|
Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d ).
|
|
|
|
Power
|
Is the rate of doing work. It is equivalent to an amount of energy consumed per unit time.
