What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does potential energy convert to kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when an outside force acts upon an object with potential energy.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the potential energy stored in chemical compounds, waiting to be released.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car is an example of kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between thermal energy and temperature?

Back

Thermal energy is related to the temperature of an object; higher temperature means more thermal energy.
