Energy Test-Gifted Physical Science

S8P2. Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy.
a. Explain energy transformation in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
b. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.
c. Compare and contrast the different forms of energy (heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound) and their characteristics.

Energy Formulas to know:
Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass x velocity2)
GPE = weight (N) x height (m)
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravity
force of gravity = 9.8 meters/s/s
Work (J)= force (N) x distance (m)
Energy = mass(kg) x c (300,000,000 m/s)2

PE = weight (Newtons) x height (meters)
weight = mass x
