Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object speeds up?

Back

What happens to gravitational potential energy when an object is lifted higher?

Back

Gravitational potential energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and mass?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
