Front

Which type of potential energy is stored in chemical bonds like food or fuel?

Back

Chemical Potential Energy

Front

What is an example of elastic potential energy?

Back

A stretched rubber band or a compressed spring.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity)

Front

What type of energy is associated with an object's height above the ground?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

It is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in a pendulum?

Back

At the highest point, potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is minimum; at the lowest point, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum.
