Potential & Kinetic Energy Formative

Front

What determines the amount of potential energy an object has?

Back

Height and Mass determine the amount of potential energy.

Front

If two objects of different masses are at the same height, which one has greater potential energy?

Back

The object with the largest mass has the greatest potential energy.

Front

What type of energy does a baseball have just before being released by the pitcher?

Back

Potential Energy.

Front

What factors determine the amount of kinetic energy an object possesses?

Back

Speed and Mass determine the amount of kinetic energy.

Front

How does the speed of an object affect its kinetic energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the greater its kinetic energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * Mass * Speed^2.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.
