Definitions – Types of Energy potential energy: STORED ENERGY can be in a FIELD or DEVICE gravitational PE is stored in gravitational fields elastic PE is stored in elastic objects (springs)

Definitions – Types of Energy internal energy: TEMPERATURE/HEAT This heating can occur due to FRICTION
Work/Energy Principle When work is done ‘on a system’ there is a net gain of one or more types of energy by that system. Energy types can change within a system. if “h” increases Gravitational PE if “x” increases Elastic PE WORK if “v” increases Kinetic Energy if temp. increases Internal Energy
