Kinetic and Gravitational Energy
≈ 32 minKinetic and Gravitational Energy
Kinetic energy is K = 1/2 mv² and gravitational potential energy near Earth is U = mgh. In an isolated mechanical system, energy transfers between forms while total energy is conserved.
Core checkpoint: Velocity is squared in kinetic energy, so doubling speed quadruples K.
