PS2 LS2 Review

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object. It is related to the temperature of the object.

Front

What type of energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Elastic potential energy is stored in a stretched or compressed object, like a rubber band.

Front

What determines the gravitational potential energy of an object?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height of the object above the ground and its mass.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

The object with a higher temperature has more thermal energy than an object with a lower temperature.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravity (g) × height (h).

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

When an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

Can thermal energy be transferred?

Back

Yes, thermal energy can be transferred from one object to another through conduction, convection, or radiation.
