Kinetic Energy |
A form of energy that an object or particle has because of its motion. |
Potential Energy |
A form of energy that an object has due to its relative position in a system. |
Spring Potential Energy |
Potential energy in a spring due to its deformation and elasticity |
Conservation of Energy |
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. |
Friction |
Resistance that an object encounters when moving on a surface or another object. Friction causes an increase of thermal energy and can be added to the conservation of energy equation. |
