What is the definition of energy?
The capacity to do work or cause change in a system.
What is the formula for work?
W = F x d (Work = Force applied over a distance).
What is power in the context of energy?
The rate of doing work or transferring energy (P = W / t).
What is gravitational potential energy (GPE)?
Stored energy due to position or configuration, calculated with GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height).
What is the formula for kinetic energy (KE)?
KE = ½ mv² (Energy of motion).
Name the types of mechanical energy.
Potential Energy (PE) and Kinetic Energy (KE).
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Total energy in a closed system remains constant; energy can transform between different forms but is neither created nor destroyed.
What is the formula for total energy in a closed system?
Total Energy = GPE + KE + Other Energy Forms.
How is power calculated?
Power (P) is Work done per unit time: P = W / T.
What are the units for power?
Watts (W) which equals Joules/second (J/s).
What is the practical example of energy transformation in a roller coaster?
Conversion of gravitational potential energy (GPE) to kinetic energy (KE).
What is the importance of energy transformations in a pendulum?
Continuous energy transformation between potential and kinetic energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a hydroelectric dam?
Conversion of gravitational potential energy (GPE) to electrical energy.
