What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Answer: KE = ½mv²
Kinetic energy is KE = ½mv², where m is mass (kg) and v is velocity (m/s). It is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
A 2 kg object is lifted 5 m. What is its gravitational potential energy? (g = 10 m/s²)
Answer: 100 J
PE = mgh = 2 × 10 × 5 = 100 J. Gravitational potential energy depends on mass, gravity, and height.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Answer: Total energy in a closed system remains constant
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. The total energy in a closed system remains constant.
What type of energy does a compressed spring possess?
Answer: Elastic potential energy
A compressed spring stores elastic potential energy. When released, this energy converts to kinetic energy as the spring returns to its natural shape.
What is the unit of energy?
Answer: Joule
The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J), defined as 1 kg·m²/s². The watt (W) is the unit of power (energy per unit time).
A machine does 500 J of work in 10 seconds. What is its power?
Answer: 50 W
Power = Work ÷ Time = 500 J ÷ 10 s = 50 W.
