What happens to a tennis ball after it hits a solid wall?

Back

The energy of the moving ball pushes it away from the wall.

Front

What happens to the energy of a roller coaster cart as it slows down while traveling to the top?

Back

The cart loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy.

Front

What happens to the kinetic and potential energy of a bicyclist riding down a hill?

Back

Kinetic energy increases. Potential energy decreases.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

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