Kinetic and Potential Energy
Across
- 2. The energy of motion like sound waves, someone bicycling or a ball falling to the ground. It is represented by the equation 1/2mv^2. It is a scalar quantity.
- 4. Energy stored over time in an object. Examples can be a rubber band being pulled back, a ball on top of a hill, aiming with a bow and arrow, or a balloon filled with air.
- 5. This law states that energy is never created or destroyed, it just gets transformed from one form to another.
- 6. The energy available for use when a deformed elastic object returns to its original configuration.
- 8. The sum of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy.
Down
- 1. The net work done by all the forces acting on an object is equal to the change in the object’s kinetic energy.
- 3. The potential energy stored in the gravitational fields of interacting bodies.
- 7. The ability to do work.
