(a) Show understanding of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. (b) State the principle of the conservation of energy. (c) Apply the principle of the conservation of energy to new situations or to solve related problems. (d) State that kinetic energy = ½ mv2 and gravitational potential energy = mgh (for potential energy changes near the Earth’s surface). (e) Apply the relationships for kinetic energy and potential energy to new situations or to solve related problems. (f) Recall and apply the relationship work done = magnitude of a force x the distance moved in the direction of the force.
