Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of a moving object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It converts to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and potential energy?

Back

More mass means more potential energy at the same height.

Front
