Front

What is energy due to motion called?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

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

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

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

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.
