Assuming the object is travelling vertically (up/down) exclusively:
The upward motion comes from kinetic energy, which is dependent on velocity. That kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, so you can set kinetic energy equal to potential energy.
Let U = potential energy (in Joules), K = kinetic energy (in Joules)
U = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is height
K = (1/2)mv2, where v is velocity
Solve for U:
U = K
U = (1/2)mv2
That is thesimplestcase. Velocity is a vector (meaning it has direction as well as a magnitude) and it could be moving in a diagonaldirection. You'll have to use yourtrigonometryknowledge to solve these cases.
When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.
you would dived the distance by the time it takes to find the velocity.
The formula to find velocity is: V = D. (VELOCITY equals distance divided by time) T
Gravitational Potential Energy
To find acceleration you subtract initial velocity from final velocity and divide it by time.
Height= GPE/gravitational constant(mass)
GPE = Mass * Height so Mass = GPE/Height
The potential energy decreases as the body falls while the kinetic energy increases. P.E.=mass x gravity x height The shorter the height the less potential energy there is K.E.= 1/2 x mass x velocity^2 The velocity increases as the body falls and the bigger the velocity the more Kinetic Energy produced
GPE=weight x height
what is a gpe sentence mean and what kind of time will you get.
No, GPE is only one of different forms of PE.
