P. Science Unit 1 Energy

Front

What is energy at rest?

Back

Potential energy is energy that is stored and not in motion.

Front

What is energy in motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object that is moving.

Front

Where does a roller coaster have the most kinetic energy?

Back

At point D, where it is moving the fastest.

Front

Which apple has more potential energy?

Back

The higher apple has more potential energy because it is further from the ground.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object based on its position.

Front

Can energy change forms?

Back

Yes, energy can change from potential to kinetic and vice versa.

Front

Give an example of kinetic energy.

Back

A moving car or a rolling ball.

Front

Give an example of potential energy.

Back

A book on a shelf or a drawn bow.
