Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What type of energy do you have when you are at the top of a hill on a roller coaster?

Back

Potential energy

Front

Which passenger has the most potential energy when at different heights?

Back

The passenger at the highest point (D)

Front

At the top of your jump on a trampoline, potential energy is:

Back

Highest

Front

What happens to potential energy as you go down a hill?

Back

It decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Front

The slower an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. True or False?

Back

False

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

Higher objects have more potential energy.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object speeds up?

Back

It increases.
