Energy Test

Front

What kind of energy is in a rock at the edge of a cliff?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

Potential energy depends on ______ and _______.

Back

Potential energy depends on height and mass.

Front

What are examples of fossil fuels?

Back

Examples of fossil fuels include oil, coal, and natural gas.

Front

Kinetic energy depends on _________ and _________.

Back

Kinetic energy depends on speed and mass.

Front

Stored energy or energy due to its position is called?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, calculated as 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravity (g) × height (h).

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.

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.
