Question

What is the potential and kinetic energy formula?

Answer 1

Energy

1. Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.
2. The formula that links energy and power is $Energy=Power\times time$
3. The unit of energy is Joule.

Potential energy:

1. The energy stored in an object due to its position and height is known as potential energy.
   $P.E=mgh$
   Where $m$ is mass of the object, $g$ is gravity and $h$ is height of the object.

Kinetic energy:

1. The energy posses due to the virtue of motion of the body is called kinetic energy.
   $\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{mv}}^2\mathrm{where}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{mass}\mathrm{v}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{velocity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{body}$
