9/17 Exit ticket Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

The formula for Kinetic Energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What units are used to measure Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is measured in Joules (J).

Front

How does speed affect Kinetic Energy?

Back

Increasing an object's speed increases its kinetic energy.

Front

How does mass affect Kinetic Energy?

Back

Increasing an object's mass increases its kinetic energy.

Front

Where is Kinetic Energy highest in a tossed baseball?

Back

Kinetic Energy is highest at the point where the baseball is moving the fastest.

Front

Where is Kinetic Energy lowest in a tossed baseball?

Back

Kinetic Energy is lowest at the point where the baseball is at rest or moving the slowest.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy when an object slows down?

Back

When an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

Can Kinetic Energy be converted to other forms of energy?

Back

Yes, Kinetic Energy can be converted to potential energy or thermal energy.

Front

What is the relationship between Kinetic Energy and velocity?

Back

Kinetic Energy is proportional to the square of the velocity; if velocity doubles, kinetic energy increases by four times.
