Kinetic & Potential Energy: ID Only

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It can be gravitational, elastic, or chemical.

What type of energy is associated with the bonds in a water molecule?

Back

Potential Energy.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground, influenced by gravity.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.

Front

How does mass affect Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy increases with the mass of the object; more massive objects have more kinetic energy at the same speed.
