3.3.2: Kinetic and potential energies

#3.3.2a

kinetic energy of an object; $E_k = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Learners will also be expected to recall this equation and derive it from first principles.

#3.3.2b

gravitational potential energy of an object in a uniform gravitational field; $E_p = mgh$

Learners will also be expected to recall this equation and derive it from first principles.

#3.3.2c

the exchange between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.

3.3.1
