What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

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

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

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

Front

True or False: Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy have a direct relationship.

Back

False

Front

What happens to Potential Energy when Kinetic Energy is high?

Back

When Kinetic Energy is high, Potential Energy is low.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

Give an example of Kinetic Energy.

Back

A bike moving down a hill is an example of Kinetic Energy.

Front

Give an example of Potential Energy.

Back

Squishing a spring is an example of Potential Energy.

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.

Front

What is the formula for Potential Energy?

Back

The formula for Potential Energy is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What happens to energy during a roller coaster ride?

Back

Energy transforms between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy as the coaster moves up and down.
