6th Energy Unit

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

Where does a tossed baseball have the least amount of kinetic energy?

Back

At point X.

Front

What happens to an object as its thermal energy increases?

Back

The temperature increases.

Front

What occurs when thermal energy is removed from a substance?

Back

The substance might freeze.

Front

What is temperature in relation to kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules within a substance.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Front

How does thermal energy affect the state of matter?

Back

Increasing thermal energy can change a substance from solid to liquid to gas.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and mass?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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