Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

Can potential energy be converted to kinetic energy?

Back

Yes, potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when an object falls.
