Content preview from The Manga Guide to Physics
When a ba is
thrown straight
upward, the higher
it goes, the more
potential energy
itgains.
And of
course,
it loses
kinetic
energy in
the same
way.
Just like me and
my high jump.
At the peak, a
kinetic energy has
bn changed into
potential energy.
As the ba comes
down, that potential
energy is converted
into kinetic energy.
Wherever the
ba is, the sum
of these two
forms of energy
is constant.
Itisrefeed
to as the law of
conservation
of mechanical
energy.*
* This is simply an alication of the
law of conservation of energy!
