Potential and Kinetic energy

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object's height increases?

Back

Potential energy increases as an object's height increases.

Front

True or False: Stretching a coil or a spring increases its potential energy.

Back

True

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when the mass of an object increases?

Back

The kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What type of energy is stored energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it can have when in motion.

Front

Can energy be transformed from one form to another?

Back

Yes, energy can be transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf has potential energy due to its height.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A rolling ball has kinetic energy due to its motion.
