What do you need to know about potential energy and Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed. Potential energy is the energy in a body due to its position. While kinetic energy is the energy in a body due to its motion. The formula for potential energy is mgh, where m stands for mass, g stands for gravitational acceleration and h stands for height.

Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy in some type of way!

They can be transferred very easily between both forms by moving up and down slopes.

Potential Energy is usually in the form gravitational potential energy which is represented by the equation

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height in metres from the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Often quoted as , but later on you may get told to use as a value for it instead.

Kinetic Energy is energy that any moving object has, and can be represented by the equation

Where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity it is moving at.

If you want to see how high an object with a certain amount of kinetic energy can move upwards, then you can set

and solve for h (often you are given a starting value for your velocity)

So you can do,

Here you can see that the mass of the object doesn't matter at all! And the height it can move up by only depends on how fast it is moving.

Hope this helps!

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
