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 gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its height above the ground.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car or a running person.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

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