Energy Unit Review 2023

Front

What determines the amount of kinetic energy an object has?

Back

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and speed.

Front

Where is the most kinetic energy found on a roller coaster?

Back

The most kinetic energy is found at the bottom of a big hill.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is energy that has to do with motion, position, or deformation.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy (EPE) is energy that is stored because it's squeezed together or pulled back.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total amount of energy in the atoms of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * speed^2.

Front

What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?

Back

Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy in motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as speed increases?

Back

As speed increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is an example of mechanical energy?

Back

A moving car has mechanical energy due to its motion.
