Kinetic and Potential Energy Flashcard

Front

What does potential energy depend on?

Back

Potential energy depends on mass and height.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Front

Calculate the potential energy of a 3 kg object lifted to a height of 4 m (g = 9.8 m/s²).

Back

The potential energy is 117.6 J.

Front

What is the unit of potential energy in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of potential energy is Joule.

Front

What is the kinetic energy of a 2 kg object moving at a velocity of 3 m/s?

Back

The kinetic energy is 9 J.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for potential energy?

Back

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases with an increase in height.

Front

How does mass affect potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, potential energy increases.
