Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The stored energy of an object due to its position or condition.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

At point W.

Front

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

Sound.

Front

When does an object have NO kinetic energy?

Back

When it's at rest.

Front

The faster an object moves, the ________ kinetic energy it has.

Back

more.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What factors affect potential energy?

Back

Mass and height of the object.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as height increases.

Front

Can potential energy be converted to kinetic energy?

Back

Yes, potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when an object falls.
