Back

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

Front

Explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is the difference between terrestrial and gas giant planets?

Back

Terrestrial planets are rocky and solid, while gas giants are composed mostly of gases and lack a solid surface.

Front

How does temperature affect the kinetic energy of particles in a substance?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, causing them to move faster.
