Back

Kinetic energy is transferred from an object when its energy changes.

Front

When the kinetic energy of an object increases, what happens to the object?

Back

The object speeds up.

Front

How does energy transfer occur when the kinetic energy of an object decreases?

Back

Energy is transferred from the object.

Front

A car is moving at a constant speed. What can be said about its kinetic energy?

Back

The kinetic energy remains constant.

A student kicks a soccer ball and its kinetic energy increases. What happens to the potential energy of the ball during this process?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when it is brought to a stop?

Back

The kinetic energy is transferred to the surroundings.

Front

If an object's speed doubles, what happens to its kinetic energy?

Back

The kinetic energy quadruples.

Front

During a collision, how is kinetic energy typically affected?

Back

Kinetic energy can be transferred or transformed.

Front

What happens to the potential energy of an object when it is lifted to a higher elevation?

Back
