Front

What is the energy of motion called?

Back

Kinetic energy

Front

Which point on a roller coaster's path represents the maximum potential energy?

Back

The highest point on the track.

Front

Kinetic energy is related to which of the following?

Back

Speed of an object

Front

Which passenger has the most potential energy?

Back

The passenger at the highest point.

Front

What happens to potential energy as kinetic energy increases?

Back

As the skater gains kinetic energy, they lose potential energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or height.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity)

Front

What is the formula for potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)

Front

What type of energy is stored in a compressed spring?

Back

Potential energy (specifically elastic potential energy)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass if speed is constant.
