kinetic and potential
kinetic energy is ____
motion
kinetic energy depends on

what is the formula for kinetic energy
1/2 x mass / velocity^2
potential energy
energy that is stored in an object due to its conditions or position
what is PE caused by

gravitational potential energy
potential energy stored due to gravity
what does GPE depend on
gravity, mass, height
what is the formula for potential energy
mass x gravity x height
elastic potential energy
energy stored in an object that will return to its original state
what are the forms of energy
