Kinetic & Potential Energy (Edexcel A-Level Further Mathematics): Flashcards

Energy of motion

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Energy due to position relative to reference level

$PE = mgh$

$9.8 \, \text{ms}^{-2}$

Always non-negative

Square of the speed

Relative position of the object

$KE + PE = \text{constant}$

$h = d \sin \theta$
