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 the square of its velocity.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It is often associated with the height of an object above the ground.

Front

What factors affect Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy depends on mass and height. The formula is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

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

Front

How many elements are in the formula BaBr₂?

Back

There are 2 different elements in the formula BaBr₂: Barium (Ba) and Bromine (Br).

Front

What type of energy does a coiled snake represent?

Back

A coiled snake represents Potential Energy because it is storing energy in its position, ready to strike.

Front

What type of energy is present in an acorn hanging from an oak tree?

Back

The acorn has Potential Energy because it is positioned above the ground.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and energy?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it is directly related to energy through Einstein's equation E=mc².

Front

What is the difference between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is stored energy based on position, while Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the potential energy an object has due to its height above the ground, calculated as PE = mgh.
