Kinetic and Potential Energy

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

The faster an object moves, the ________ kinetic energy it has.

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What kind of energy is in a moving skateboard?

Back

A moving skateboard has kinetic energy.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at the highest point of an object's path.

Front

Food has _________ energy.

Back

Food has potential energy, which is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

A drawn bow has potential energy because of the tension in the string.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when speed doubles?

Back

If the speed of an object doubles, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.
