What is stored energy?

Back

Stored energy, also known as potential energy, is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. For example, a marble at the top of a ramp has stored energy because of its height.

Front

At which point is the stored energy of a marble the greatest?

Back

When the marble is resting at the top of the ramp.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its position or condition. The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

Which paper airplane has the most potential energy?

Back

The paper airplane flying 50 feet above the ground has the most potential energy.

Front

What does your stomach do with food?

Back

Your stomach stores food for energy and breaks it down for digestion.

Front

Which rock has the most potential energy?

Back

The 100 pound rock has the most potential energy due to its weight.

Front

What should scientists do to confirm their experiment results?

Back

Scientists should compare their results with another scientist who is doing the same experiment.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has because it has the potential to fall.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and potential energy?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more potential energy it has when at a height.
