Energy Review - 6th grade

Which is the energy of motion?

• potential

• gravitational potential

• elastic potential

• kinetic

Kinetic energy depends on

• mass and speed

• stored energy

• light and sound

• weight and distance

mass x speed²/2 is the formula for

• chemical potential energy

• elastic potential energy

• kinetic energy

• gravitational potential energy

The energy an object has because of its position is

• kinetic energy

• gravitational energy

• potential energy

• elastic potential energy

The type of potential energy that depends on the object's weight and distance from Earth's surface is

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• elastic potential energy

• gravitational potential energy

the type of potential energy stored in chemical compounds (examples: food, firewood)

• potential energy

• chemical potential energy

• kinetic energy

• elastic potential energy

the type of potential energy that can be stored in bowstrings, strings, and rubber bands. By stretching or compressing these objects, you give them elastic potential energy.

• elastic potential energy

• potential energy

• chemical potential energy

• kinetic energy

An object that is 4 meters off the ground has more __________ than an object that is only 2 meters off the ground.

• potential energy

• chemical energy

• elastic potential energy

• gravitational potential energy
