What factors determine the kinetic energy of an object in motion?
The mass of the object and its velocity
The position of the object and its potential energy
The temperature of the environment and the time of motion
The kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy associated with its motion.
true
false
Which of the following statements accurately describes potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the ground.
Potential energy remains constant in a system regardless of external factors.
When an object slides on a surface, what is true about the work done by friction?
Friction always does positive work on the object
Friction always does negative work on the object
Friction never does any work on the object
Which of the following statements best describes the conservation of mechanical energy in a system?
Mechanical energy is conserved as long as the system's velocity remains constant
The conservation of mechanical energy applies only to systems with kinetic energy and no potential energy
The sum of kinetic and potential energies remains constant as long as no non-conservative forces are acting on the system
The work done by a constant force is calculated as the product of displacement and the component of the force in the direction of displacement
true
false
What is the unit of power in the International System of Units (SI)?
Joule (J)

Newton (N)
Which of the following statements accurately describes elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position above the ground
The amount of elastic potential energy stored in a spring depends only on the material it is made of
Elastic potential energy is stored in an object that is compressed, stretched, or deformed
A ball is thrown straight up into the air. At the highest point of its trajectory, which of
the following statements regarding its potential and kinetic energy is true?
The potential energy is at its maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero
The potential energy is zero, while the kinetic energy is at its maximum
Both potential and kinetic energy are at their maximum
When a spring is compressed or stretched, what happens to its potential energy?
The potential energy of the spring remains constant
The potential energy of the spring increases when it is compressed and decreases when it is stretched
The potential energy of the spring decreases when it is compressed and increases when it is stretched
