Energy Review

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

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

Front

Describe the energy at Position B if it has high kinetic energy.

Back

At Position B, the object is moving quickly, indicating a high amount of kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to gravitational potential energy as height increases?

Back

Gravitational potential energy increases as height increases.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change.

Front

What type of energy is stored inside a battery?

Back

Chemical potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

Give an example of gravitational potential energy.

Back

A rock held at a height above the ground has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.
