Define Potential Energy

Back

Stored Energy.

Front

What is the relationship between Kinetic Energy and collision forces?

Back

The more Kinetic Energy that objects in a system have, the higher the peak forces they can produce in a collision.

Back

True.

Front

Define Breaking Point

Back

The moment of greatest strain at which someone or something gives way.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy = mass × gravity × height.

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Define Force.

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back
