Front

What is an inclined plane?

Back

An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted at an angle to help raise or lower objects with less force.

Front

Which inclined plane requires the most force to push an object to the top?

Back

The steeper the inclined plane, the more force is required to push an object to the top.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as an object at a height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is the conversion of energy in glow sticks?

Back

The light from glow sticks is a conversion of chemical energy to light energy.

Front

Can energy be transformed from one form to another?

Back

Yes, energy can be transformed from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy.

Front

What position has the least potential energy?

Back

The position at the lowest height has the least potential energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravity (g) × height (h).

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 × mass (m) × velocity (v)².

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, related to the motion of particles.
