Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

Energy due to motion is ____________ energy.

Back

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

Front

Which point has the most potential energy? (Options: G, f, b, a)

Back

Point a has the most potential energy because it is at the highest position.

Front

When a pendulum swings, at which point is kinetic energy highest? (Options: 1, 2, 3, 4)

Back

Kinetic energy is highest at point 3, where the pendulum is at its lowest point.

Front

A ball will be rolled four times. In which of the following situations will some of the kinetic energy of the ball be converted into potential energy as the ball rolls? (Options: Situation A, B, C, D)

Back

In Situation C, some of the kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy as the ball rolls uphill.

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on the ________ and ________ of the object.

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

As height increases, potential energy increases because it is directly proportional to height.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

When an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in a pendulum?

Back

In a pendulum, kinetic energy is highest at the lowest point, while potential energy is highest at the highest points.
