Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, dependent on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
