LAw of Conservation of Energy

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that 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 possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity (v)^2.

Front

What is the formula for potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) * gravity (g) * height (h).

Front

What type of energy is produced when a guitar is strummed?

Back

Sound energy is produced when a guitar is strummed.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What type of energy transfer occurs when an object is dropped?

Back

Gravitational Potential energy is converted to Kinetic energy and then to Sound energy.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object.
