Kinetic and Potential Energy Review.

Front

What type of energy is associated with an object's position or state?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What type of energy is associated with an object's motion?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

At what point in a roller coaster is potential energy the highest?

Back

At the highest point of the track.

Front

At what point in a roller coaster is kinetic energy the highest?

Back

At the lowest point of the track.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential energy related to an object's height above the ground, calculated as PE = mgh.

Front

What factors affect potential energy?

Back

Mass and height above a reference point.
