Graphing Energy and Motion Review

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on the ________ and ________ of the object.

Back

Height and mass.

Front

Which runner had a head start?

Back

Runner B.

Front

What does this graph represent?

Back

Acceleration.

Front

Which graph best represents the relationship between mass and kinetic energy at a constant velocity?

Back

Graph showing direct proportionality.

Front

Can a kinetic energy vs speed graph show a curved line?

Back

YES, because speed does not change at a constant rate.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy at constant speed?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is not moving.
