Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as mass increases?

Back

Kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A bicycle in motion.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What type of energy is stored in a compressed spring?

Back

Elastic potential energy.

Front

What is the energy transfer when an object falls?

Back

Gravitational Potential → Kinetic Energy.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as height increases.
