Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is stored energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

Which type of energy is associated with motion?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A tennis ball rolling across the court.

Front

At which point does a pendulum have the greatest potential energy?

Back

At the highest point of its swing.

Front

What is the energy transformation when a ball rolls down a ramp?

Back

It transforms from potential energy to kinetic energy.

Front

Define potential energy.

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

Define kinetic energy.

Back

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

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A car parked on a steep hill.

Front

How does height affect potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.
