POTENTIAL AND KINETIC

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its position above the ground, depending on its mass and height.

Front

What type of energy does a rock at the edge of a cliff possess?

Back

Potential 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

What is electric energy?

Back

The energy carried by an electric current.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

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 gravitational potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy due to its height.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is elastic potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, like springs or rubber bands.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A moving car has kinetic energy due to its motion.
