4.13 Understand how conservation of energy produces a link between gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy and work

Gravitational potential energy is often transferred to kinetic energy (i.e. in a pendulum) and work done is equal to energy transferred :)

An object gains GPE when it is above the ground. The higher up it is, the more GPE it has. An object has kinetic energy when it is moving.
