FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Kinetic Energy?
Back
Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state. It is often associated with gravitational potential energy, calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
When does an object have no kinetic energy?
Back
An object has no kinetic energy when it is at rest.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which has more kinetic energy: a car or a tractor-trailer traveling at the same speed?
Back
A tractor-trailer traveling at the same speed has more kinetic energy due to its greater mass.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What units are used to measure energy and work?
Back
Energy and work are measured in Joules.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Where does a tossed baseball have the greatest kinetic energy?
Back
A tossed baseball has the greatest kinetic energy at the point of maximum speed, typically at the lowest point of its trajectory.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?
Back
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object; as mass increases, kinetic energy increases if velocity remains constant.
