Front

What is stored energy or energy due to its position called?

Back

Potential energy

Front

The energy stored in an object is its _______ Energy.

Back

Potential

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on the ________ and ________ of the object.

Back

Height and mass

Front

Where is maximum kinetic energy on a roller coaster?

Back

At the bottom of a big hill

Front

What type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Kinetic energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

The sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.
