What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It can exist in various forms such as light, sound, heat, and motion.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a ball held at a height has potential energy.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can kinetic energy be converted to potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy when an object is lifted against gravity, such as when a ball is thrown upwards.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors affect potential energy?

Back

Potential energy depends on the height of an object and its mass. The higher the object and the more mass it has, the greater its potential energy.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and its velocity. The formula is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Can energy change forms?

Back

Yes, energy can change from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.
