Energy

Front

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's height from the Earth and its mass.

Front

What is the energy of a moving object called?

Back

The energy of a moving object is called Kinetic Energy.

Front

What type of energy is stored in a stretched slingshot?

Back

The energy stored in a stretched slingshot is called Elastic Potential Energy.

Front

How does the kinetic energy of a fast-moving object compare to a slow-moving object?

Back

A faster-moving object has more kinetic energy compared to a slow-moving object.

Front

What kind of energy does a flag have when waved in the air?

Back

The flag has both Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy.

Front

Define Kinetic Energy.

Back

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

Front

Define Gravitational Potential Energy.

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its height above the ground and its mass.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object's speed doubles?

Back

When an object's speed doubles, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

The formula for Kinetic Energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
