Kinetic and Potential Energy Practice

Front

What is stored energy called?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What type of energy does a roller coaster have at the top of a hill?

Back

High potential energy.

Front

What is an example of an object with kinetic energy?

Back

A tennis ball rolling across the court.

Front

True or False: When an object's kinetic energy increases, its potential energy must decrease.

Back

True.

Front

At which point does an object have the most potential energy?

Back

At the highest point (e.g., point A on a roller coaster).

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential energy related to an object's height above the ground.

Front

How does mass affect potential energy?

Back

Potential energy increases with greater mass.
