Amplify Magnetic Fields Chapter 2

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

Front

Where is potential energy stored in a slingshot?

Back

The potential energy in a slingshot is stored in the elastic material when it is stretched.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What type of energy do magnets have when they are not moving?

Back

When magnets are not moving, they have potential energy.

Front

When do magnets have the most potential energy?

Back

Repelling magnets have the most potential energy when they are close to each other.

Front

What is elastic force?

Back

Elastic force is the force exerted by a material when it is stretched or compressed, such as in a slingshot.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

The higher an object is positioned, the more potential energy it has due to gravity.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object.
