ICP Energy Review Quiz

gravitational potential energy is defined as

• the energy an object has due to its height above the ground
• the energy an object has due to its motion
• the energy a spring has due to its stretch
• the chemical energy stored in the molecules of atoms

What are the two types of Mechanical Energy? (ME)

• Kinetic and Potential Energy
• Kinetic and Nuclear Energy
• Potential and Chemical Energy
• Thermal and Kinetic Energy

the equation for gravitational potential energy is 

• PE_g = mgh
• PE_g= 1/2kx²
• PE_g= Fd
• PE_g = 1/2mv²

Kinetic Energy is defined as

• Energy stored due to its location
• Energy of motion
• Energy stored in the bonds of molecules
• Heat energy

The equation to find kinetic energy is

• KE=1/2mv²
• KE=mgh
• KE=1/2kx²
• KE=Fd
