3.1.2 (KE & PE) & 3.1.1 (Thermal) NotesName/Date

PE = mgh = (50kg)(9.8 m/s2)(0 m) = 0 J. Gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the object falls. Elastic potential energy – potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed (p. 450) Something is elastic if it . springs back to its original shape after it is stretched or compressed ................
