What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height above the ground.

Front

Give an example of gravitational potential energy.

Back

A rock at the edge of a cliff is an example of gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What type of energy does a moving skateboard have?

Back

A moving skateboard has kinetic energy.

Front

What type of energy does a roller coaster have at the top of a hill?

Back

A roller coaster has potential energy at the top of a hill.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

A car parked in a garage has potential energy.

Front

What happens when a football player kicks a ball?

Back

The ball gains kinetic energy as a result of the kick.

Front

What is the relationship between height and gravitational potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more gravitational potential energy it has.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
