What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What type of potential energy is associated with an object's height?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the type of potential energy associated with an object's height.

Front

What type of potential energy is stored in a compressed spring?

Back

Elastic potential energy is stored in a compressed or stretched object, like a spring.

Front

How does mass affect kinetic energy?

Back

Increasing the mass of an object increases its kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as an object speeds up?

Back

As an object speeds up, its kinetic energy increases.

At what point does a thrown football have the highest potential energy?

Back

A thrown football has the highest potential energy at its highest point.

Front

At what point does a thrown football have the lowest potential energy?

Back

A thrown football has the lowest potential energy just before it hits the ground.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
