Potential and KInetic

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Energy that is stored, waiting to be used.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Energy that is in motion, being used.

Front

How can you increase an object's potential energy?

Back

By increasing its height or mass.

Front

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

Back

It increases.

Front

What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy?

Back

The more potential energy an object has, the more kinetic energy it can have when it is in motion.

Front

Can energy be created or destroyed?

Back

No, energy can only be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A rock at the top of a hill.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A rolling ball.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.
