 | Okay I see it... but what do m and v stand for? | |
|
| M is mass. V is velocity, or speed. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oh, so you mean that mass and velocity are the factors that influence how much Kinetic Energy an object has. | |
|
| And for Potential Energy, the formula is M, which you know means mass, times G, which is gravity, times H, which is height. So, PgE=mgh. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yeah! And I think I remember learning that gravity on Earth is always 9.8 meters per second. | |
|
| Wow you remember something. We had science last bell you know. Anyway, so the factors that influence how much PgE an object has are gravity- | |
