Front

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Height and mass.

Front

What type of energy is stored energy?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

Where is maximum potential energy on a roller coaster?

Back

At the top of a big hill.

Front

What happens to potential energy as a rock falls off a cliff?

Back

The potential energy decreases as the kinetic energy increases.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf.

Front

How can potential energy be converted to kinetic energy?

Back

By allowing the object to move, such as dropping it.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

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