Lesson: Potential Energy Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to find potential energy and the change in it and use it to solve different problems.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

find the change in an object’s potential energy based on its position using vectors,
find the gravitational potential energy of an object relative to the ground,
calculate the change in an object’s gravitational potential energy as it moves to a given height,
find the mass or height of an object using the gravitational potential energy,
find the change in an object’s potential energy using the work-energy principle,
solve real-world problems involving gravitational potential energy.
