KE and PE Review

Front

What type of energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

How can we increase the gravitational potential energy of an object?

Back

By increasing its mass or height.

Front

Which letters represent objects with the most kinetic energy?

Back

X & Z.

Front

What type of energy is associated with an object in motion?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

True or False: Increasing an object's speed will increase its kinetic energy.

Back

True.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

Give an example of gravitational potential energy.

Back

A book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy due to its height.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass.
