Energy transfer is the change in speed, position, and direction when objects collide.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

Objects at a higher position have more potential energy than those at a lower position.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is the force of gravity?

Back

The force of gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
