FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is mechanical energy?
Back
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is kinetic energy?
Back
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. It is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is potential energy?
Back
Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, an object at a height has gravitational potential energy.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does height affect potential energy?
Back
The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to height.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to kinetic energy as an object speeds up?
Back
As an object speeds up, its kinetic energy increases because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of its velocity.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the principle of conservation of mechanical energy?
Back
The principle states that in a closed system, the total mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) remains constant if only conservative forces are acting.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is acceleration?
Back
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can occur due to a change in speed or direction.
