U.07 Kinetic & Potential Energy

Day 02 - Worksheet 7B

Yesterday we had a quick review of the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy. To be clear, in this class we are concerned almost exclusively with gravitational potential energy.

Today we're going to push a little forward and deal with Joules (Newtons times meters) and work (force times distance) by completing Worksheet B, which is due by the end of the bell.

kinetic energy
energy of motion
potential energy
gravitational potential energy is the energy represented by mass due to its height above a surface under force of gravity
