kinetic energy and potential energy Flashcards
1
Q
kinetic energy is energy in
A
motion, if an object is moving, it is kinetic energy
2
Q
kinetic energy will increase if we increase its
A
mass or speed
3
Q
potential energy is energy
A
stored or at rest
4
Q
chemical potential energy
A
Energy stored in the bonds of atoms for example Energy stored in fossil fuels and food
5
Q
elastic potential energy
A
Energy stored by stretching or compressing
for example Energy stored in a stretched rubber band
6
Q
gravitational potential energy
A
Energy stored due to an object’s height and mass
for example Being at the top of a roller coaster
7
Q
when chemical energy is released from its bond it turns into
A
kinetic energy
8
Q
energy can neither be created
A
nor destroyed
