Back

not determined by an object's position above a surface.

Front

If you roll a ball down two ramps, which ball will hit the books harder?

Back

The taller ramp will have the ball hit the books faster.

Front

Which is evidence that a bowling ball has more energy when it is moving faster?

Back

The bowling ball can knock over more pins when it is moving faster than when it is moving slower.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object's speed increases?

Back

Kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

Higher objects have more potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and energy of motion?

Back

As speed increases, energy of motion increases.
