Kinetic and Potential Energy Review

Front

Distance (height) and mass determine the amount of _________ energy in an object.

Back

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

Front

The energy stored in an object is called ____________.

Back

Potential energy.

Front

Which car has: KE = 0 PE = 100?

Back

Car A has kinetic energy (KE) of 0 and potential energy (PE) of 100.

Front

Velocity is the same as:

Back

Speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the rate at which an object changes its position.

Front

This type of energy is caused by motion.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

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 potential energy dependent on?

Back

Potential energy depends on the height of an object and its mass.

Front

What unit is used to measure energy?

Back

Joule (J) is the unit of energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in a pendulum?

Back

In a pendulum, kinetic energy is highest at the lowest point, while potential energy is highest at the highest points.
