Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

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

Front

Which passenger has the most potential energy? A, B, C, or D?

Back

Passenger D has the most potential energy, typically when they are at a higher elevation.

Front

The faster an object moves, the ________ kinetic energy it has.

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What type of energy is in this picture? (Assuming a picture of a raised object)

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position.

Front

On a roller coaster, where is maximum potential energy?

Back

At the top of a big hill, where the coaster has the highest elevation.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How can potential energy be converted to kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when an object falls or moves from a higher position to a lower position.

Front

Give an example of kinetic energy in everyday life.

Back

A moving car, a running dog, or a thrown ball are all examples of kinetic energy.

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.
