1

What is kinetic energy?

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

New cards
2

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 Mass Velocity² (KE = 0.5 m v²).

New cards
3

What is the unit for kinetic energy?

The unit for kinetic energy is joules (J).

New cards
4

What factors affect the kinetic energy of an object?

Kinetic energy is affected by the mass and velocity of the object.

New cards
5

What is gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field.

New cards
6

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass Gravitational field strength Height (GPE = m g h).

New cards
7

What is the unit for gravitational potential energy?

The unit for gravitational potential energy is joules (J).

New cards
8

How does an object’s height affect its gravitational potential energy?

The higher the object, the greater its gravitational potential energy.

New cards
9

How is gravitational potential energy converted to kinetic energy?

As an object falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

New cards
10

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
