Front

What happens to the potential energy of a ball as it rolls down a ramp?

Back

It is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the ability to do work called?

Back

Energy.

Front

How does the height from which an object is dropped affect the energy it transfers?

Back

An object will transfer more energy if it is dropped from a higher position.

Front

What does a hairdryer convert?

Back

Electrical energy into thermal energy.

Front

As a ball rolls down a hill, what happens to kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases while potential energy decreases.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy = mass × gravity × height (PE = mgh).

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What type of energy does a moving car have?

Back
