Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What are the two factors that affect kinetic energy?

Back

Mass and speed.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

At point W.

Front

__________ is stored energy.

Back

Potential energy.

Front

At which point is kinetic energy greatest?

Back

At point X.

Front

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

Back

more.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * speed^2.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Greater mass results in greater kinetic energy if speed is constant.
