What states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

Back

Law of Conservation of Energy

Front

What type of energy is stored by compressing or stretching an object?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy

Front

What is the sum of kinetic and potential energy of the particles that make up an object called?

Back

Thermal Energy

Front

What type of energy is stored due to the interactions between objects?

Back

Potential Energy

Front

What is the energy a moving object has because of its motion, determined by its mass and speed?

Back

Kinetic Energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is energy of motion.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object as it is raised above the ground, calculated as mass * gravity * height.

Front

What is the relationship between thermal energy and temperature?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while temperature measures the average kinetic energy.

Front

What is the principle of energy transformation?

Back

Energy can change from one form to another, but the total energy remains constant.
