FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object possesses because of its height above the ground. It is calculated using the formula GPE = mass × gravity × height.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for calculating Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

GPE = mass × gravity × height.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of Gravity in Potential Energy?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth, affecting their gravitational potential energy based on their height.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to Potential Energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, conserving the total mechanical energy.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Static Potential Energy?

Back

Static Potential Energy is the potential energy stored in charged particles within an electrostatic field, which can cause them to move toward or away from charges.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does electrostatic charge affect Potential Energy?

Back

Electrostatic charge creates an electric field that can store potential energy, allowing charged objects to exert forces on each other without direct contact.
