Potential & Kinetic Energy Review Day 1

Front

What type of energy does an object have due to its position or height above the ground?

Back

Potential Energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g) × height (h)

Front

What is the gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s²

Front

What type of energy is associated with the motion of an object?

Back

Kinetic Energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 × mass (m) × velocity (v)²

Front

What is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Joules (J)

Front

What is the metric unit for force or weight?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

How does energy transform when a skateboard rolls down a ramp?

Back

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to the energy of a skateboard when it comes to a stop?

Back

The energy is transformed into heat due to friction and air resistance.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as height increases.
