Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The stored energy of an object due to its position or condition.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

Sound.

Front

What does kinetic energy depend on?

Back

The mass and speed of an object.

Front

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

Back

More.

Front

When does an object have NO kinetic energy?

Back

When it's at rest.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

They can convert into each other; as potential energy decreases, kinetic energy increases and vice versa.
