PE/KE and Transformations Review

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

Front

When does a yo-yo have the most potential energy?

Back

When it's at its highest point.

Front

During which section of a roller coaster is kinetic energy converted to potential energy?

Back

From point B to point C only.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as an object rises?

Back

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

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another.

Front

When does a pendulum have maximum kinetic energy?

Back

A pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at its lowest point.

Front

When does a pendulum have maximum potential energy?

Back

A pendulum has maximum potential energy at its highest point.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as height increases.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)².
