Energy❤️

Energy is the ability to do work

Mechanical energy

The sum of the gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy

Formula: Ek+Ep

Gravitational energy

The energy an object has due to its position in the gravitational field relative to some reference point

Formula: Ep=mgh or U=mgh

g=9.8m.s^-2


Kinetic energy

The energy an object possesses as a result of its motion

Formula: Ek=12mv2\frac12mv^2


The principle of conservation of mechanical energy

The total mechanical energy in an isolated system

Formula: Ek1 + Ep1 = Ek2 + Ep2
