Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is stored energy called?

Back

Potential Energy

Front

What does the conservation of energy state?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.

Front

Which object has the greatest potential energy?

Back

The blue vase on the top shelf.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as an object's speed increases?

Back

The kinetic energy increases.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

At point W.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf has potential energy due to its height.

Front

How is potential energy calculated for an object at height?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy increases with mass; more mass means more kinetic energy.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × velocity² (KE = 1/2 mv²).
