Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration, such as height in a gravitational field.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Front

What type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is the type of energy associated with the motion of an object.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion, commonly observed between magnets.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials, where energy is transferred from the hotter object to the cooler one.

Front

Give an example of energy transfer through conduction.

Back

An example of energy transfer through conduction is a metal spoon getting hot from a boiling pot.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position, while kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.
