What happens when a spring is compressed?

It stores elastic potential energy

Which factor does NOT affect an object’s kinetic energy?

Both mass and speed affect kinetic energy

If a baseball and a tennis ball are moving at the same speed, which has more kinetic energy?

Both have the same kinetic energy

How does increasing the mass of an object affect its kinetic energy?

It depends on the object’s shape

Which of the following best describes the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Kinetic energy increases exponentially with speed

Kinetic energy increases linearly with speed

Kinetic energy does not change with speed

Kinetic energy decreases as speed increases

If two objects are moving at the same speed, which one has more kinetic energy?

Both have the same kinetic energy

The one with a higher temperature

A moving bus and a moving bicycle have the same speed. How does their kinetic energy compare?

The bus has more kinetic energy

The bicycle has more kinetic energy

They have the same kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is not affected by mass

What must happen for an object’s kinetic energy to decrease?

The object must slow down or decrease in mass

The object must increase in temperature

Which of the following correctly describes kinetic energy?

Energy that an object has due to its motion

Energy stored due to an object’s position

Energy that disappears when an object stops moving

Energy that does not depend on mass

A child is swinging on a playground swing. When does the child have the most kinetic energy?

At the lowest point of the swing

At the highest point of the swing

The kinetic energy stays the same throughout

How is kinetic energy related to stopping distance?

The greater the kinetic energy, the longer the stopping distance

The greater the kinetic energy, the shorter the stopping distance

Stopping distance does not depend on kinetic energy

Kinetic energy decreases stopping distance

A ball is dropped from a height and starts falling. What happens to its kinetic and potential energy as it falls?

Kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases

Kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases

Both kinetic and potential energy increase

Both kinetic and potential energy decrease

Which of the following best defines potential energy?

Energy stored in an object due to its position or shape

Which object has the greatest gravitational potential energy?

A heavy boulder at the top of a cliff

A small rock sitting on the ground

A rubber band stretched between two fingers

Why does a ball held at the top of a hill have potential energy?

Because it is interacting with gravity

Because it is already in motion

How is mechanical energy related to potential energy?

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy

Mechanical energy is only kinetic energy

Mechanical energy only applies to moving objects

Mechanical energy does not include potential energy
