Front

What has the greatest kinetic energy?

Back

A car driving down a hill.

Front

What two factors does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Mass and height above the ground.

Front

How do forces always act?

Back

In opposite directions.

Front

What is stored energy or energy due to position called?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What do potential and kinetic energy have in common?

Back

They are both related to motion.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy = mass × gravity × height (PE = mgh).

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed of an object.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases.
