What type of potential energy is stored in food, fuel, or batteries?

Back

Chemical potential energy.

Front

When does the kinetic energy of a pendulum decrease while its potential energy increases?

Back

When it moves from point 4 to 5.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front
