Front

When a football player kicks a ball, he transfers energy to the ball. What happens as a result?

Back

The ball gains kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

Front

Which is NOT a true statement about energy?

Back

Front

This is energy that is stored for later use.

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object, which has the potential to do work.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object.
