Front

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

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

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 due to its position or state.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object moves higher?

Back

As an object moves higher, its potential energy increases.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as an object slows down?

Back

As an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

If two objects are moving at the same speed, which has more kinetic energy?

Back

The object with greater mass has more kinetic energy.

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 gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy (PE) = mass (m) * gravity (g) * height (h).

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.
