What is the weight of an object?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass * gravity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.
