Kinetic and Potential Energy Review

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the same as speed, but it includes direction.

Front

What type of energy is caused by motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy caused by motion.

Front

Which object has the greatest potential energy when falling from the same height?

Back

The object with the largest mass has the greatest potential energy.

Front

What is the energy stored in an object called?

Back

The energy stored in an object is called potential energy.

Front

What factors increase an object's potential energy?

Back

An object's potential energy increases with height and mass.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object is lifted higher?

Back

As an object is lifted higher, its potential energy increases.

Front

Can an object have both kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Yes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time.

Front

What is the unit of energy?

Back

The unit of energy is the Joule (J).
