Kinetic Energy Test Review

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to materials that absorb light?

Back

They gain kinetic energy when light shines on them.

Front

True or False: Air is made of molecules.

Back

True

Front

How does kinetic energy transfer between molecules?

Back

It transfers when they bump into each other.

Front

True or False: Kinetic energy can transfer from one molecule to another.

Back

True

Front

In which type of water do molecules move the fastest?

Back

In hot water.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and molecular movement?

Back

As temperature increases, molecular movement increases.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A moving car or a flowing river.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.
