FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, a drawn bow has potential energy because of its position.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

The relationship is linear; as mass increases, kinetic energy increases proportionally if speed is constant.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Back

The relationship is parabolic; as speed increases, kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

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

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A moving car, a running dog, or a thrown ball are all examples of kinetic energy.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an example of potential energy in everyday life?

Back

A book on a shelf, a stretched rubber band, or water stored in a dam are examples of potential energy.
