What is kinetic energy?
Click to flip
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Click to flip
What factors influence kinetic energy?
Click to flip
The mass and velocity of an object influence its kinetic energy.
Click to flip
How is kinetic energy calculated?
Click to flip
Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 mv^2.
Click to flip
What is gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field.
Click to flip
Which factors affect gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
Height, mass, and the gravitational field strength affect gravitational potential energy.
Click to flip
How do you calculate gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
Gravitational potential energy is calculated using PE = mgh.
Click to flip
What unit is used to measure kinetic and gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
Both are measured in joules (J).
Click to flip
What happens to kinetic energy when an object's speed doubles?
Click to flip
Its kinetic energy quadruples.
Click to flip
When does an object have the highest gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
When it is at its highest position above the ground.
Click to flip
Can an object have both kinetic and potential energy?
Click to flip
Yes, an object can have both simultaneously.
Click to flip
What is the law of conservation of energy concerning kinetic and potential energy?
Click to flip
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it only transforms from one form to another.
Click to flip
What role does gravity play in potential energy?
Click to flip
Gravity gives objects potential energy when they are at a height.
Click to flip
How does a pendulum demonstrate kinetic and potential energy?
Click to flip
At the top of its swing, it has maximum potential energy; at the bottom, maximum kinetic energy.
Click to flip
What is the relationship between velocity and kinetic energy?
Click to flip
Kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity.
Click to flip
How does mass affect gravitational potential energy?
Click to flip
Gravitational potential energy increases with mass.
