PEgrav = mass * g * heightPEgrav = m * g * h
• Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position or height.
• The higher that an object is elevated, the greater the gravitational potential energy

• A pendulum bob swinging to and from above the table top has a potential energy which can be measured based on its height above the tabletop. By measuring the mass of the bob and the height of the bob above the tabletop, the potential energy of the bob can be determined.

• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. An object which has motion - whether it be vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy.
• KE = 1/2mv2
where m = mass of objectv = speed of object

The total mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic
energies and is conserved.
All energy is converted from one form to another

PE – KE pendulum
• As the 2.0-kg pendulum bob in the above diagram swings to and fro, its height and speed change. Use energy equations and the above data to determine the blanks in the above diagram.
