FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Kinetic Energy?
Back
Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It is often associated with gravitational energy, calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to Potential Energy as an object falls?
Back
As an object falls, its Potential Energy decreases while its Kinetic Energy increases, assuming no energy is lost to air resistance.
