G6 U5 Conservation of Energy

Front

What factors affect the amount of kinetic energy of an object?

Back

The amount of kinetic energy of an object is affected by its speed and mass.

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What type of energy is stored in a battery?

Back

Chemical energy.

Front

How can a student change the energy of a book on a shelf?

Back

By moving the book to the top shelf, the student can increase its gravitational potential energy.

Front

What form of energy is produced when a robot powered by batteries is switched on?

Back

Electrical energy.

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 of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)^2.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object if its speed doubles?

Back

If the speed of an object doubles, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.
