Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity)

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed.
