LAw of Conservation of Energy

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

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

How does speed affect kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object rises?

Back

As an object rises, its kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy.

Front

What type of energy is produced by a moving guitar string?

Back

Sound energy is produced when a guitar string is strummed.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation?

Back

A person walking up a hill transforms kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy.

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 the relationship between work and energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy due to its height.
