Energy Test

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground and its mass.

Front

What factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What are examples of chemical potential energy?

Back

Examples of chemical potential energy include wood, gasoline, and food.

Front

How is thermal energy used in everyday life?

Back

Thermal energy is used in everyday life for cooking food, heating spaces, and powering engines.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

The formula for calculating gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position or state.
