Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to Kinetic Energy as speed increases?

Back

As speed increases, the kinetic energy of an object also increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is an example of Potential Energy?

Back

A pulled back string on an archer's bow is an example of potential energy.

Front

Where is Kinetic Energy maximum on a roller coaster?

Back

Kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom of a big hill on a roller coaster.

Front

What type of energy does a moving skateboard have?

Back

A moving skateboard has kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and Kinetic Energy?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its kinetic energy at a given speed.

Front

What is the relationship between height and Potential Energy?

Back

The higher an object is positioned, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What is an example of Kinetic Energy?

Back

A roller coaster speeding down a hill is an example of kinetic energy.
