FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. It is often associated with gravitational potential energy, which can be calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the height of an object affect its Potential Energy?
Back
The higher an object is positioned, the greater its Potential Energy, as it has the potential to fall and do work due to gravity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Can an object have both Kinetic and Potential Energy at the same time?
Back
Yes, an object can possess both Kinetic and Potential Energy simultaneously. For example, a roller coaster at the top of a hill has Potential Energy due to its height and Kinetic Energy as it moves down.
