Potential and Kinetic energy

Front

What type of energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What is the energy called that is associated with the motion of an object?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

Which type of energy is highest at the top of a hill on a roller coaster?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as the speed of an object increases?

Back

It increases.

Front

At what point on a roller coaster is kinetic energy at its maximum?

Back

At the bottom of each hill.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential energy (PE) = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

How does potential energy change as an object falls?

Back

Potential energy decreases as height decreases.

Front

How does kinetic energy change as an object rises?

Back

Kinetic energy decreases as speed decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in a closed system?

Back

They convert into each other, maintaining the total mechanical energy.
