PE and KE 1

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. It is energy based on an object's position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is the energy an object possesses due to its movement.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its height above the ground. The higher the object, the more gravitational potential energy it has.

Front

What is chemical potential energy?

Back

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food. It can be released during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is electrical potential energy?

Back

Electrical potential energy is the energy stored in electric charges due to their position in an electric field.
