Forms of Energy Review

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass and velocity of the object.

Front

Which factor has a greater effect on kinetic energy: mass or velocity?

Back

Velocity has a greater effect on kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and kinetic energy?

Back

Velocity and kinetic energy have a direct relationship; as velocity increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What type of energy is visible light?

Back

Visible light is an example of radiant energy.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons, often used to power devices.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Mass and kinetic energy have a direct relationship; as mass increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is an example of electrical energy in everyday life?

Back

Plugging a light into an outlet is an example of using electrical energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

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