ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS

Kinetic Energy:  K = ½ m*v²

K - kinetic energy;  m - mass;  v - velocity

Potential Energy:  V = m*g*h

V - potential;  g - acceleration of gravity;  h - vertical distance (height)

Relationship between Mass and Energy:  E = m*c²

E - energy;  m - mass;  c - velocity of light (3 x 10⁸ m/s)
