Advanced Physics Energy Review 2025

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

The movement of particles (atoms and molecules) in a substance, which is a form of energy.

Front

What happens to Gravitational Potential Energy when an object is carried at constant speed?

Back

It stays the same.

Front

What causes an increase in Elastic Potential Energy when stretching an object?

Back

+ Work from Person.

Front

What equation relates Work and Kinetic Energy when a cart is pushed?

Back

W = KE.

Front

How do you determine which object is higher above the ground?

Back

Compare their heights; the one with the greater height is higher.

Front

Define Kinetic Energy.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field.

Front

Explain the concept of Work in physics.

Back

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the principle of Conservation of Energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
