Kinetic energy - the energy an object has due to its motion
K E = 1 2 m ν 2
Gravitational potential energy - energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface.
E p = m g h = 9.8 J
Total energy - all energy, potential and kinetic, within a specific system.
Law of Conservation of Energy - the law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
