What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?
1/2 * mass * velocity
1/2 * mass * velocity^2
mass * velocity^2
mass + velocity^2
If an object has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s, what is its kinetic energy?
50 J
500 J
100 J
250 J
What is the formula for calculating potential energy?
PE = 1/2kx^2
PE = mgh
PE = Fd
PE = 1/2mv^2

newtons (N)
What are the units for measuring potential energy?
meters (m)
joules (J)
watts (W)

How does the kinetic energy of an object change if its velocity doubles?
It stays the same
It quadruples
It halves
It triples
How does the potential energy of an object change if its height triples?
Increases
Remains the same
Becomes negative
Decreases
What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?
Potential energy is a form of thermal energy.
They are completely unrelated to each other.
Kinetic energy is a form of potential energy.
They are both forms of mechanical energy.
Can an object have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time? If yes, provide an example.
Yes, but only in a vacuum
No, it's not possible
Yes
Yes, but only in outer space
