FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It is the energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is positioned, the more potential energy it has. This is because potential energy is directly related to height.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, assuming no energy is lost to air resistance.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

At what point does a pendulum have maximum kinetic energy?

Back

A pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Can kinetic energy be converted to potential energy?

Back

Yes, kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy, such as when an object is thrown upwards.
