Kinetic and Potential Energy

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

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

Front

List five forms of energy.

Back

Front

What is Nuclear Energy?

Back

The energy released during a nuclear reaction such as fission or fusion.

Front

What is Energy?

The ability to do work or produce change.

Front

What type of energy does a moving skateboard have?

Back

Kinetic Energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object comes to a stop?

Back

It is transformed into other forms of energy, such as thermal energy due to friction.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases with height; the higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation?

Back

When a batter hits a ball, kinetic energy is transformed into sound energy and thermal energy.

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

The energy that comes from the temperature of matter, related to the total kinetic energy of the particles.
