Velocity Problems
Energy and Momentum
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mass x ( velocity) squared
Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height
Elastic Potential Energy = 1/2 spring constant x (distance stretched or compressed) squared
Energy = power x time
Work = change in kinetic energy
Mechanical Energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
Law of Conservation of Energy KE before+ PE before = KE after + PE after
Momentum = mass x velocity
Impulse = force x change in time = mass x change in velocity
Law of conservation of momentum p before = p after
Heat gained or lost = mass x specific heat x change in temperature.
