Front

Compare gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. What is true?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on height, while kinetic energy depends on motion.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position.
