Front

What type of energy is stored when you compress a spring?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a compressed spring.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work.

Front

At which point does a ball thrown into the air have the most potential energy?

Back

The ball has the most potential energy at the highest point, which is point X.

Front

What happens when two or more different elements chemically combine?

Back

They form compounds.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is an example of elastic potential energy?

Back

A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is energy in motion.

Front

What is a compound?

Back

A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

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