What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height above the ground.

Front

Which type of energy is present in a rock at the edge of a cliff?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion, which an object has due to its movement.

Front

What happens to energy when it transforms from potential to kinetic?

Back

Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it is transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is Electrical Energy?

Back

Electrical Energy is the energy of electric charges and the movement of electrons.

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 Kinetic Energy?

Back

A moving car or a flowing river.

Front

What is an example of Potential Energy?

Back

A book on a shelf or a drawn bow.

Front

How does height affect Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the greater its Gravitational Potential Energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

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