1.5 - transfer between KE & GPE Flashcards
1
Q
what happens to the gravitational potential energy of an object as it falls?
A
the gravitational energy of an object decreases as it falls.
2
Q
what happens to the kinetic store of a ball that rolls down a hill?
A
the kinetic store of the ball will increase as the gravitational potential energy is transferred to the kinetic store.
3
Q
a ball is thrown upwards in the air. what happens to the gravitational potential and kinetic energy stores of the ball?
A
gravitational potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases
4
Q
what happens to the kinetic energy store of a ball as it falls through the air?
A
the kinetic store of the ball increases as it falls toward the ground.
