Potential and kinetic energy

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to cause change.

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 potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

Can energy be used up?

Back

No, energy cannot be used up; it can only change forms.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

A rock at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its position.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As the object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the mass of the object.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A moving car has kinetic energy.
