Back

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

Front

Which object has the most potential energy on a shelf?

Back

The object that is highest up, such as a ball on a high shelf, has the most potential energy.

Front

What happens when a moving marble hits a stationary marble?

Back

The moving marble transfers some of its kinetic energy to the stationary marble, causing it to move.

Front
