Work-Kinetic Energy TheoremWork-Kinetic Energy TheoremThe net work done on an object is The net work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic equal to the change in the kinetic energy of that objectenergy of that object
Net work = change in kinetic energyNet work = change in kinetic energy

Gravitational Potential EnergyGravitational Potential EnergyGravitational potential energy (PEGravitational potential energy (PEgg) – ) – potential energy associated with an object potential energy associated with an object due to the position of the object relative to due to the position of the object relative to the Earth or some other gravitational the Earth or some other gravitational sourcesource– Based on height from a zero levelBased on height from a zero level– Gravitational potential energy = mass * free-fall Gravitational potential energy = mass * free-fall

Elastic Potential EnergyElastic Potential EnergyElastic potential energy – the Elastic potential energy – the potential energy in a stretched or potential energy in a stretched or compressed elastic objectcompressed elastic object– Energy of springs and rubber bandsEnergy of springs and rubber bandsRelaxed length – the length of a Relaxed length – the length of a spring when no external forces are spring when no external forces are acting upon itacting upon it– As the spring is compressed, elastic As the spring is compressed, elastic
potential energy is stored in the springpotential energy is stored in the spring
Elastic Potential EnergyElastic Potential EnergySpring constant – a parameter that Spring constant – a parameter that expresses how resistant a spring is to expresses how resistant a spring is to being compressed or stretchedbeing compressed or stretched– Has units of Newtons / meters (N/m)Has units of Newtons / meters (N/m)Elastic potential energy = ½ * spring Elastic potential energy = ½ * spring constant * (distance compressed or constant * (distance compressed or stretched)stretched)22
