Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is the definition of potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or condition.

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

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

Back

Speed and Mass.

Front

At which point does an object have the most potential energy when it is elevated?

Back

At the highest point.

Front

How does increasing the height of an object affect its potential energy?

Back

Increasing the height increases the potential energy.

Front

How does increasing the mass of an object affect its potential energy?

Back

Increasing the mass increases the potential energy.

Front

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

Back

Increasing the speed increases the kinetic energy.

Front

How does increasing the mass of an object affect its kinetic energy?

Back

Increasing the mass increases the kinetic energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)^2.
