Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Energy due to motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does the speed of an object affect its kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

Where is potential energy maximum 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

What type of energy does a flashlight have when it is turned off?

Back

Potential Energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to energy during a roller coaster ride?

Back

Energy transforms between potential and kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car.
