What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

At which point on a roller coaster is kinetic energy at its maximum?

Back

Kinetic energy is at its maximum at the lowest point of the roller coaster, where the speed is highest.

Front

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. For example, 180°C + 273.15 = 453.15 K.

Front

What is the formula for calculating work?

Back

Work is calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance, where work is measured in joules (J), force in newtons (N), and distance in meters (m).

Front

If a force of 30 N moves an object 3 m, how much work is done?

Back

90 J (Work = 30 N x 3 m).

Front

What is the freezing point of water in Celsius?

Back

0°C is the freezing point of water.

Front

What is the boiling point of water in Celsius?

Back

100°C is the boiling point of water.

Front

How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Back

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula: C = (F - 32) x 5/9.

Front

What type of energy does a battery provide?

Back

A battery provides electrical energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, an object at a height has gravitational potential energy.
