Unit 4 Review (6th)

Front

What energy transformation happens in a roller coaster?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the movement in longitudinal waves?

Back

In longitudinal waves, energy is transferred parallel to the direction of the wave.

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is energy changing from within one object or system.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A moving car has kinetic energy.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What happens to energy when a roller coaster goes down a hill?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it descends.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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