Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

Front

What type of potential energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Elastic potential energy.

Front

What type of potential energy is associated with an object at a height?

Back

Gravitational potential energy.

Front

What type of energy is produced when a bow is drawn back?

Back

Elastic potential energy.

Front

What type of energy is involved when a car is moving?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What type of energy is associated with sound?

Back

Sound energy is a form of kinetic energy that is produced by vibrating objects.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A tennis ball rolling across the court.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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