Potential and Kinetic Energy Quiz

What is potential energy?

• The energy that an object has due to its temperature

• The energy that an object has due to its position or state

• The energy that an object has due to its color

• The energy that an object has due to its speed

What is potential energy?

• The energy that an object has due to its temperature

• The energy that an object has due to its position or state

• The energy that an object has due to its color

• The energy that an object has due to its speed

Give an example of an object with high potential energy.

• A book placed on a high shelf

• A feather floating in the air

• A car parked on a flat road

• A ball rolling on the ground

What is kinetic energy?

• Energy due to heat

• Energy due to gravity

• Energy due to rest

• Energy due to motion

Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.

• Potential energy is created by kinetic energy

• Kinetic energy is always greater than potential energy

• Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when an object is in motion.

• Potential energy and kinetic energy are unrelated

How is potential energy converted into kinetic energy?

• By increasing the object's mass

• By allowing an object to move from a higher position to a lower position

• By keeping the object stationary

• By heating the object

Describe the factors that affect an object's potential energy.

• Speed, volume, and density

• Height, mass, and acceleration due to gravity

• Color, shape, and temperature

• Friction, air resistance, and temperature

Explain the concept of gravitational potential energy.

• The energy stored in an object due to its speed in a gravitational field.

• The energy stored in an object due to its color in a gravitational field.

• The energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field.

• The energy stored in an object due to its temperature in a gravitational field.

What is the formula to calculate kinetic energy?

• KE = 0.5 * m * v

• KE = m * v^2

• KE = m + v^2

• KE = 0.5 * m * v^2

Discuss the law of conservation of energy.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

• Energy can only be transformed into heat

• Energy can be destroyed completely

• Energy can be created out of nothing
