LAw of Conservation of Energy

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.

Front

What are the two factors that influence kinetic energy?

Back

Speed and mass.

Front

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Height.

Front

What is stored energy called?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is energy the ability to do?

Back

To do work.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * speed^2.

Front

What is the relationship between height and gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy increases with height.

Front

Can energy change forms? Give an example.

Back

Yes, for example, potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when an object falls.
