PE and KE

Front

What is stored energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

What kind of energy is present in a rock at the edge of a cliff?

Back

The energy present is potential energy.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest in a given scenario?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at point W.

Front

What is energy due to motion called?

Back

Energy due to motion is called kinetic energy.

Front

How does the speed of an object affect its kinetic energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

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

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

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

Front

What factors affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.
