Back

It decreases.

Front

At which point is kinetic energy greatest?

Back

At point X.

Front

Gravitational potential energy depends on which two factors?

Back

Height and mass.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

At point W.

Front

What kind of energy is present in a waving hand?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

Define gravitational potential energy.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its height and mass.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

Higher objects have greater gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational potential energy?

Back

Greater mass results in greater gravitational potential energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as an object slows down?

Back

It decreases.
