FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Kinetic Energy?
Back
Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to do work when released.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
Back
Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object as it is raised above the ground. It depends on the object's height and mass.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to Potential Energy as an object falls?
Back
As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, conserving the total mechanical energy.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?
Back
The formula for Gravitational Potential Energy (PE) is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does height affect Potential Energy?
Back
The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has because it has the potential to fall further.
