Energy Review

Front

What determines the amount of kinetic energy in an object?

Back

The amount of kinetic energy in an object is determined by its speed and mass.

Front

What type of energy is associated with an object's position?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy of position.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest in a given scenario?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at the highest point (e.g., point W).

Front

What heat transfer occurs when you burn your hand by touching a fire?

Back

Conduction.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)^2.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is energy of position.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

A rock at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its height.

Front

What type of energy is stored in food?

Back

Chemical energy.
