Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is 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 possesses because of its height above the ground.

Front

How does mass affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass; if mass increases, kinetic energy increases if velocity remains constant.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as the height of an object increases.
