Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to cause change.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

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 happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.
