Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Energy possessed by an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What does Gravitational Potential Energy depend on?

Back

Mass and height of the object.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Energy due to an object's motion.

Front

What are the types of Kinetic Energy?

Back

Translational, Rotational, and Vibrational Kinetic Energy.

Front

What is Translational Kinetic Energy?

Back

Movement from one place to another.

Front

What is Rotational Kinetic Energy?

Back

Movement around an axis.

Front

What is Vibrational Kinetic Energy?

Back

Oscillation about a central point.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Stored energy in objects that can stretch or compress.

Front

What does Elastic Potential Energy depend on?

Back

Amount of stretch or compression.

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)?

Back

GPE = mass * gravity * height.
