Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. It is energy based on an object's position or condition.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass and speed of the object.

Front

What happens to Potential Energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its Potential Energy decreases while its Kinetic Energy increases.

Front

What type of energy is associated with a raised object?

Back

Potential Energy.

Front

What type of energy is associated with a moving object?

Back

Kinetic Energy.

Front

What is the relationship between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy in a roller coaster?

Back

As the roller coaster goes up, Potential Energy increases and Kinetic Energy decreases. As it goes down, Potential Energy decreases and Kinetic Energy increases.

Front

What is an example of Potential Energy?

Back

A rock at the edge of a cliff has Potential Energy due to its height.

Front

What is an example of Kinetic Energy?

Back

A moving car has Kinetic Energy due to its motion.

Front

How can you increase Kinetic Energy?

Back

You can increase Kinetic Energy by increasing the mass or speed of the object.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)².
