Which is the best synonym for potential energy?

Back

Stored energy

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Energy of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity)

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

Potential energy increases as height increases.
