Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its height above the ground.

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, like springs or rubber bands.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.
