Front

Where is potential energy stored in a slingshot?

Back

In the elastic of the slingshot.

Front

What type of energy do magnets have when they move towards each other?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

How can the potential energy of attracting magnets be increased?

Back

The magnet on the right needs to move to the right away from the other magnet.

Front

What type of energy does a boy have before diving off a diving board?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

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

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in a falling object?

Back

As potential energy decreases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What happens to the energy of magnets when they attract?

Back

They convert potential energy into kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of potential energy in everyday life?

Back

A drawn bowstring has potential energy.
