Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy that is stored in an object or system.

Front

How is energy converted from potential to kinetic?

Back

Energy is converted from potential to kinetic when an object moves from a higher position to a lower position.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object moves away from a magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases as the object moves farther away from the magnet.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy that an object has because it is moving.

Front

How does distance from a magnet affect potential energy?

Back

The closer an object is to a magnet, the stronger the force on it, resulting in higher potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases with height; the higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What type of energy is present when an object is at rest?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height).

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

Kinetic energy decreases as the object's speed decreases.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
