FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Potential Energy?
Back
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
Back
Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its height above the ground, calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does height affect Potential Energy?
Back
The higher an object is positioned, the greater its potential energy due to the increased gravitational force acting on it.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between Kinetic and Potential Energy?
Back
Kinetic and Potential Energy are forms of mechanical energy. As potential energy decreases (e.g., an object falls), kinetic energy increases, and vice versa.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the Potential Energy of a book when it is moved to a lower shelf?
Back
The potential energy of the book decreases as it is moved to a lower shelf.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which of the following is NOT an example of Potential Energy? A ball traveling at 10 m/s, a compressed spring, water stored at a dam, a stretched rubber band.
Back
A ball traveling at 10 m/s is NOT an example of Potential Energy; it is an example of Kinetic Energy.
