Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

Potential energy increases with height.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height).
