FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is kinetic energy?
Back
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does height affect potential energy?
Back
The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has. This is because potential energy is directly related to the height of the object.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to kinetic energy when an object speeds up?
Back
When an object speeds up, its kinetic energy increases. This is because kinetic energy depends on the speed of the object.
