FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is potential energy?
Back
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is kinetic energy?
Back
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Back
The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What factors affect potential energy?
Back
Potential energy is affected by the height of an object above a reference point and the mass of the object.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is gravitational potential energy?
Back
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has due to its height above the ground, calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does energy transform between potential and kinetic?
Back
Energy transforms from potential to kinetic when an object moves from a higher position to a lower position, such as a rock falling from a cliff.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Back
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
