Sub Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What determines the amount of kinetic energy an object has?

Back

The amount of kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and the speed at which it is moving.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

The higher an object is positioned, the more potential energy it has due to gravity.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has because of its height above the ground.

Front

When does an object have maximum potential energy?

Back

An object has maximum potential energy when it is at its highest point.

Front

When does an object have no kinetic energy?

Back

An object has no kinetic energy when it is at rest.

Front

How does gravity affect potential energy?

Back

Gravity affects potential energy by determining how much energy an object has based on 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.
