Kinetic Energy
4
Definition – The energy that is stored due to an object’s location. It is stored energy because it has the potential to do work. Potential Energy
5
Gravitational Potential Energy The energy that an object has due to its elevated position. Note that the path an object takes to travel from one height to another does NOT matter. Only the initial and final heights are important.
6
Elastic Potential Energy The energy stored in a pulled string (rubber balls, rubber bands, slingshots, trampolines, etc.).
