Potential and Kinetic Review

Front

What kind of energy is in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy, such as that in a stretched rubber band.

Front

What is stored energy called?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

Which two letters have the most kinetic energy?

Back

X & Z have the most kinetic energy.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at point W.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

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

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 gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

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