FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It can be gravitational, elastic, or chemical.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula: KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is speed.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on two factors: mass and speed of the object.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, keeping the total energy constant.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of potential energy does a stretched rubber band have?

Back

A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of energy is stored in food?

Back
