FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is potential energy?
Back
Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It is often associated with the height of an object above the ground.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does height affect potential energy?
Back
The higher an object is positioned, the greater its potential energy. This is because potential energy is calculated as PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to potential energy when an object is lifted?
Back
When an object is lifted, its potential energy increases because its height above the ground increases.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to kinetic energy when an object's speed increases?
Back
As an object's speed increases, its kinetic energy increases. Kinetic energy is calculated as KE = 1/2 mv² (1/2 x mass x velocity squared).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in a bouncing ball?
Back
In a bouncing ball, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it falls, and kinetic energy is converted back to potential energy as it rises.

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.
