Ability to do work

2
New cards

What is the symbol and SI unit for energy?

E subscript and joule (J) kg * m² / s²

3
New cards

What is kinetic energy?

The energy of an object associated with its motion and equal to one-half the product of the objects mass and the square of its speed

4
New cards

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

EK = ½ mv² where v= speed

5
New cards

What is the symbol and SI units for kinetic energy?

EK and joule

6
New cards

How does kinetic energy fit into the stationary particle model?

The velocity and speed are zero

EK= 0

7
New cards

How does kinetic energy fit into the uniform linear motion model?

The velocity and speed is constant

EK= constant
