Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of gravitational potential energy.

Back

A rock held at a height above the ground has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

It is converted into kinetic energy.
