What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change. It can be stored and cannot be created or destroyed.

What type of energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What can energy not be?

Back

Energy cannot be made or destroyed.

Front

What type of energy is associated with the random movement of particles?

Back

Thermal energy.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

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 an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy due to its height.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, related to temperature.
