Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It can be converted into kinetic energy when the object moves.

Front

What factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of an object.

Front

How can you increase an object's potential energy?

Back

You can increase an object's potential energy by increasing its height or mass.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, depending on its mass and speed.

Front

How do you calculate kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) can be calculated using the formula: KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does a distance-time graph look like for an object moving at a constant speed?

Back

A distance-time graph for an object moving at a constant speed is a straight line with a positive slope.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a speed-time graph?

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the distance traveled by the object.
