FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For gravitational potential energy, it is 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 height affect Potential Energy?
Back
The higher an object is positioned, the greater its potential energy. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to height.

What is the relationship between Kinetic and Potential Energy in a roller coaster?
Back
As a roller coaster car moves up, it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy. As it descends, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to Kinetic Energy when speed increases?
Back
Kinetic Energy increases with the square of the speed. If the speed doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.
