Front

What happens to a ball's speed when it starts higher on a ramp?

Back

The ball goes faster.

Front

What is evidence that energy is transferred when you bring your hand near a lit candle?

Back

Heat.

Front

What is the energy that matter has because of its motion called?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

Which position on a ramp gives a ball the most potential energy?

Back

Position 4.

Front

Which position on a ramp causes a ball to roll the slowest and have the least kinetic energy?

Back

Position 1.

Front

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

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between the speed of an object and its kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is energy transfer?

Back

The movement of energy from one place to another.

Front

What are the two main types of energy?

Back

Kinetic energy and potential energy.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.
