Converting Between Kinetic & GPE Worked Example - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain the conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) when an object is thrown upwards or falls. As an object gains height, its kinetic energy is converted to GPE, and as it falls, GPE is converted back into kinetic energy. The video provides an example problem where the change in GPE is equal to the change in KE, demonstrating how to calculate the speed of an object when it hits the ground after falling a certain distance.
