1
Q
Energy due to motion
A
Kinetic energy
2
Q
Stored energy due to the interactions of objects in a gravitational field
A
Gravitational potential energy
3
Q
Law states that energy is always transferring but energy is not created of destroyed
A
Law of conservation of energy
4
Q
Stored energy due to interactions between objects or particles
A
Potential energy
5
Q
What is kinetic energy - mass
A
If 2 objects are moving at the same speed, the object with more mass will have more kinetic energy
6
Q
Relationship between kinetic energy and speed
A
When you increase the speed of an object, the kinetic energy of the object increases by the square of the factor
7
Q
What is kinetic energy dependent on
A
Mass - speed
