Chapter 4.2

2. Energy Review
Most Energy can be group under one of two categories: Kinetic or Potential
What are some examples of forms of KE?
What is the equation for KE?
What is the relationship between mass and KE?
What is the relationship between velocity and KE?
What are some examples of forms of PE?
What is the equation for PE?

3. Law of Conservation Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Changes form
Total energy of the universe remains constant
Even though system may gain or lose energy

4. Mechanical Energy (ME)
Total amount of KE and PE
ME = PE + KE
