What is potential energy?
Energy that is in motion
Energy stored in an object due to its position
Energy that is lost when an object is at rest
Energy that is created by friction
Which of the following factors affects the potential energy of an object?
Color of the object
Shape of the object
Mass of the object
Temperature of the object
How does the potential energy of an object change as it is raised higher above the ground?
It decreases
It remains the same
It increases
It becomes zero
What happens to potential energy when an object starts moving?
It is destroyed
It is converted into kinetic energy
It remains as potential energy
It doubles
In the context of the video, what role does gravity play in potential energy?
It decreases potential energy
It has no effect on potential energy
It is the force that allows potential energy to be converted to kinetic energy
It increases the mass of the object
Which scenario best illustrates the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy?
A book lying on a table
A car parked on a hill
A swing being released from its highest point
A magnet sticking to a refrigerator
If two objects are at the same height but have different masses, which one has more potential energy?
The object with less mass
The object with more mass
Both have the same potential energy
It depends on the shape of the objects
What type of potential energy is involved when magnets are held apart?
