Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object is lifted higher?

Back

Potential energy increases as the height of the object increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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