Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)?

Back

The potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

The potential energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

Front

How do you calculate Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.
