Kinetic and Potential energy Review

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

At which point is kinetic energy greatest?

Back

Kinetic energy is greatest at point X, where the object is moving the fastest.

Front

The more mass an object has, the more ____________ energy it has.

Back

The more mass an object has, the more Kinetic and Potential energy it has.

Front

What kind of energy is in an acorn hanging from an oak tree?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

Which is an example of potential energy?

Back

The pulled back string on an archer's bow is an example of potential energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does mass affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass; more massive objects have more kinetic energy when moving.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground.
