Energy Review

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or shape. It depends on the object's weight and height.

Front

What type of energy is associated with gravity?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object because of its position in a gravitational field.

Front

At what point does a roller coaster have the greatest Potential Energy?

Back

At the highest point of the roller coaster.

Front

What happens to elastic potential energy when a spring is compressed?

Back

The elastic potential energy increases as the spring is compressed.

Front

Which has the least gravitational potential energy?

Back

A ball sitting on the ground has the least gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

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

Front

How is Gravitational Potential Energy calculated?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is calculated using the formula: GPE = mass × gravity × height.

Front

What is the relationship between height and Potential Energy?

Back

As height increases, Potential Energy increases, assuming mass remains constant.

Front

What is an example of Kinetic Energy?

Back

A moving car or a flowing river are examples of Kinetic Energy.

Front

What type of energy is stored in a compressed spring?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy is stored in a compressed spring.
