Energy Flashcard

Front

What type of energy is transformed when a book falls off a shelf?

Back

Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when a book hits the floor?

Back

Kinetic energy is transformed into sound and heat energy.

Front

Why does a book held in the air have potential energy?

Back

Because it has the potential to be dropped.

Front

How does kinetic energy change as an object moves faster?

Back

Kinetic energy increases as an object moves faster.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is energy stored in the particles of matter.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main types of mechanical energy?

Back

Potential energy and kinetic energy.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What type of energy is associated with the motion of an object?

Back

Kinetic energy.
