Physics 190E: energy & SocietyFall 2007 Physics of energy II - 1 Now, let s talk about a second form of energyPotential energyImagine you are standing on top of half dome inYosemite valley, holding a rock in your rock has no kinetic energy , but if you threwit off the cliff it would have quite a bit of kineticenergy by the time it hit the valley say that the rock has Potential energy . If mis the mass of the rock and h the height aboveground, the Potential energy of the rock is g here?Let s pick up where we left off last topic was gravitational potentialenergyPhysics 190E: energy & SocietyFall 2007 Physics of energy II - 2 Reading assignment intextbook - chapter 3 - work, energy & powerRecall also the reading 190E: energy & SocietyFall 2007 Physics of energy II - 3g is known as the gravitational constant.
Physics 190E: Energy & Society Fall 2007 Physics of Energy II - 3 g is known as the gravitational constant. It measures the strength of the Earth Õs gravitational pull on falling objects.
