FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy increases as an object's height above the ground increases, calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object is lifted?

Back

When an object is lifted, its potential energy increases due to the increase in height.
