Front

What type of energy considers an object's rigidity and ability to be stretched?

Back

Elastic energy.

Front

What is an object called if it is resistant to being deformed?

Back

Rigid.

Front

Which factor does NOT influence the amount of elastic energy in an object?

Back

Mass.

Front

True or False: Any moving object has kinetic energy.

Back

True.

Front

If an object is less able to be deformed, what can be said about its elastic energy?

Back

It will have less elastic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What happens to elastic energy when an object is stretched?

Back

It increases.

Front

What is the relationship between rigidity and elastic energy?

Back

More rigid objects have less elastic energy when deformed.

Front

What is gravitational energy?

Back

The potential energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field.

Front

How does compression affect elastic energy?

Back

Compression increases elastic energy.
