Kinetic & Potential Energy

Front

What is Chemical Potential Energy?

Back

Energy stored in food and fuels, which can be released during chemical reactions.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy (KE)?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy (PE)?

Back

The stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What factors affect Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

At which point is Potential Energy greatest in a roller coaster?

Back

At the highest point of the track.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy related to an object's height above the ground.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy as an object speeds up?

Back

Kinetic energy increases as the speed of the object increases.

Front

How does height affect Potential Energy?

Back

Higher objects have greater potential energy due to increased height.

Front

What is Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, like springs.
