Unit 2 Energy and Motion Midterm B

Front

What type of energy is associated with a rock at the edge of a cliff?

Back

Gravitational energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its high position compared to a lower position.

Front

Stored energy is called ______ energy.

Back

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

Front

Kinetic energy depends on ____________.

Back

Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. The formula is KE = 1/2 mv².

Front

What type of energy is shown in the image of a fire?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total energy of the particles in an object.

Front

Type of energy that includes kinetic and potential energy.

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv².

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 gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy (PE) is calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

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.

Front

What type of energy is associated with the motion of particles in a substance?

Back

Thermal energy is associated with the motion of particles in a substance.
