Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

Front

Can energy be changed?

Back

Yes, energy can be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

How can you determine the kinetic energy of an object?

Back

By finding its mass and speed.

Front

What happens to gravitational potential energy when an object falls?

Back

It is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What type of energy is stored in an object due to its position?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * speed (v)^2.

Front

What type of energy transfer occurs when an object is dropped?

Back

Gravitational Potential -> Kinetic -> Sound.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition.
