REVIEW Test #2

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

Front

At which point on a rollercoaster is the greatest Kinetic Energy?

Back

The greatest Kinetic Energy on a rollercoaster is at the lowest point, typically marked as point X.

Front

What type of potential energy is associated with an object's height?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

At what position does a rock have the greatest kinetic energy when rolling down a hill?

Back

The rock has the greatest kinetic energy at the lowest point, typically marked as position E.

Front

What are the basic components of a circuit?

Back

A basic circuit is made up of a battery, lightbulb, and wires.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

The formula for Kinetic Energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground, calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power the circuit.
