Kinetic Energy Flashcards
1
Q
What is kinetic energy?
A
The energy of any moving object
2
Q
How do you work out kinetic energy?
A
1/2 m x v squared
3
Q
What does kinetic energy depend on?
A
Mass and speed
4
Q
How do you slow down a moving car with kinetic energy?
A
Convert it into other types of energy e.g. Heat energy as friction
5
Q
What happens when something falls?
A
It’s potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy so the further it does the faster it goes
6
Q
What does kinetic energy gained equal?
A
Potential energy lost
