Kinetic and potential energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated using the formula E = 1/2 mass x velocity².

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, often associated with gravitational force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

E = 1/2 mass x velocity².

Front

What is the unit of measurement for Kinetic Energy?

Back

Joule (J).

Front

How does velocity affect Kinetic Energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has, as kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for Force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

How much kinetic energy does a 6 kg object moving at 3 m/s have?

Back

27 J.

Front

If a 50 kg person runs at 7 m/s, how much kinetic energy do they have?

Back

1225 J.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy if the mass of an object is doubled while keeping velocity constant?

Back

The Kinetic Energy doubles.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground, calculated using the formula E = mass x gravity x height.
