What is elastic energy?

Back

Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched, such as in a rubber band or spring.

Front

What factors can impact elastic energy?

Back

The rigidity of an object affects its elastic energy; more rigid objects store more elastic energy when deformed.

Front

What types of energy are involved when a rubber ball bounces?

Back

Bouncing a rubber ball involves sound energy, kinetic energy, elastic energy, and gravitational energy.

Front

What is the definition of energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

Front

What is energy transfer?

Back

Energy transfer is the process of moving energy from one place to another, such as electricity moving through power lines.

Front

What is kinetic energy (KE)?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

How is gravitational energy defined?

Back

Gravitational energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and energy?

Back

The more mass an object has, the more energy it can store or transfer.

Front

What happens to energy when a ball is dropped?

Back

When a ball is dropped, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
