What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at the highest point of an object's position.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

At which point is kinetic energy greatest?

Back

Kinetic energy is greatest at the lowest point of an object's position, where it is moving the fastest.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy increases as height increases. The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to energy when a book is dropped?

Back

When a book is dropped, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls, and then into sound energy when it hits the ground.
