  10. Starting with Gravitational Potential An object of mass 3.0 kg is suspended at a height of 12 m above the ground. Calculate its kinetic energy. v = 0 so Ek = 0

  15. And Now We Have Kinetic Energy Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the object when it hits the ground.

  16. And Now We Have Kinetic Energy Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the object when it hits the ground. h = 0 so Eg = 0

  17. And Now We Have Kinetic Energy Our energy has been entirely transformed from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.

  18. And Now We Have Kinetic Energy Our energy has been entirely transformed from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. But the total mechanical energy of the object (potential energy + kinetic energy) has not changed.

  19. Conservational of Mechanical Energy In general, if no work is being done on an object by an outside force, the total mechanical energy of the system will remain constant:

  20. In Real Life Note that in real life, energy is never transformed with 100% efficiency: a ball dropped from a given height will never bounce back up to that same height. Some energy is always “lost” as heat energy or sound energy because of friction. However, just as we often neglect friction, we will often neglect these losses.

  21. Efficiency Efficiency is the ratio of useful energy or work output to the total energy or work input:

  22. Efficiency Efficiency is the ratio of useful energy or work output to the total energy or work input (written as a percent):
