AQA GCSE New Specificaiton 8463 Unit 1.4 Energy: Gravitational Potential Energy lesson 4 of 9

Objective: To learn about Gravitational potential energy and what factors effect it.
Core: level 4
State the factors that affect the change in the gravitational potential energy store of a system.
Calculate the gravitational potential energy store of a system using the weight of an object and its height.
Measure the gravitational potential energy store changes in a system with a simple practical activity.

Challenge: level 6
Describe the effect of a different gravitational field strength on the gravitational potential energy store changes of a system.
Calculate the gravitational potential energy store of a system using the mass, gravitational field strength, and height.
Describe energy changes that involve a heating effect as opposed to movement of an object.

Aspire: level 8
Perform calculations using rearrangements of the gravitational potential energy store equations.
Apply the gravitational potential energy store equations in a wide range of contexts.
Account for all changes of energy during falls or increases in height, including heating effects..
