PE Formula The formula for calculating potential energy is mgh. The three factors that determine the amount of potential energy in an object are mass, gravitational acceleration, and height of an object.

PE Measurements PE = Joules Mass = kg Weight=Newtons Gravitational pull = m/s 2

PE Measurements PE = Joules Mass = kg Weight=Newtons Gravitational pull = m/s 2 Height = m

PE Formula Potential Energy = Mass x 9. 8 m/s 2 x Height Gravitational

PE Formula Potential Energy = Mass x 9. 8 m/s 2 x Height Gravitational PE = Wx. H

PE Info: PE = mass x gravitational acceleration (9. 8 m/s 2) x height

PE Info: PE = mass x gravitational acceleration (9. 8 m/s 2) x height OR Gravitational PE= Weight X Height Energy= joules Weight= Newton Mass= kilograms Velocity= m/s Gravitational acceleration= (9. 8 m/s 2)

KE Definition Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

KE Formula KE= ½ . M. (v 2 ) Two factors that determine KE

KE Formula KE= ½ . M. (v 2 ) Two factors that determine KE in an object are Mass and Velocity *reminder: velocity = speed

KE Measurements Energy= joules Weight= Newton Mass= kilograms Velocity= m/s Gravitational acceleration= (9. 8

KE Measurements Energy= joules Weight= Newton Mass= kilograms Velocity= m/s Gravitational acceleration= (9. 8 m/s 2)

KE = ½ m v (2) PE = mass x gravitational acceleration (9. 8 m/s 2) x height or weight x height

 Energy = joules Weight = Newtons Mass= kilograms Velocity = m/s Gravitational acceleration

Energy = joules Weight = Newtons Mass= kilograms Velocity = m/s Gravitational acceleration = 9. 8 m/s 2
