Potential and Kinetic energy

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on the ________ and ________ of the object.

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

When a pendulum swings, at which point is potential energy at its greatest? (1, 2, 3, 4)

Back

Potential energy is at its greatest at point 1, where the pendulum is at its highest.

Front

What kind of energy is in a stretched rubber band?

Back

A stretched rubber band contains potential energy.

Front

When a pendulum swings, at which point is kinetic energy highest? (1, 2, 3, 4)

Back

Kinetic energy is highest at point 3, where the pendulum is at its lowest.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more gravitational potential energy it has.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

The formula is PE = mgh, where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

When an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.
