Front

What type of energy is associated with the motion of an object?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion.

Front

What is the term for energy that is stored and has the potential to do work?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

When does a baseball have the greatest gravitational potential energy after being hit into the air?

Back

The baseball has the greatest gravitational potential energy when it reaches its highest point.

Front

What two factors does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

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

Front

What type of energy does a pulled-back rubber band represent?

Back

A pulled-back rubber band represents potential energy.

Front

Define kinetic energy in terms of mass and velocity.

Back

Kinetic energy is defined as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

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

Back

Increasing the height of an object increases its gravitational potential energy.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object as it slows down?

Back

As an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in a pendulum?

Back

In a pendulum, potential energy is highest at the highest point, while kinetic energy is highest at the lowest point.
