Graphing Energy and Motion Review

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What factors affect Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy depends on two factors: mass and speed of the object.

Front

How does height affect Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy increases with height; it is calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy when speed doubles?

Back

When the speed of an object doubles, its Kinetic Energy quadruples.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and Kinetic Energy at constant velocity?

Back

At constant velocity, Kinetic Energy is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, Kinetic Energy increases.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground, dependent on its mass and height.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

The formula for Kinetic Energy is KE = 1/2 mv².

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

The formula for Gravitational Potential Energy is PE = mgh.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy if mass is halved while speed remains constant?

Back

If mass is halved while speed remains constant, Kinetic Energy is also halved.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is proportional to the square of the speed; if speed increases, Kinetic Energy increases exponentially.
