kinetic and potential energy

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

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

Front

The faster an object moves, the ________ kinetic energy it has.

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

On a roller coaster, where is maximum potential energy?

Back

At the top of a big hill, potential energy is at its maximum due to height.

Front

What kind of energy is in a person climbing a ladder?

Back

A person climbing a ladder has both potential energy (due to height) and kinetic energy (due to movement).

Front

One form of energy changes to another

Back

This process is called Energy Transformation.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has due to gravity.
