Potential and Kinetic energy Flashcards
1
Q
What is gravitational potential energy
A
GPE is energy stored in objects above the Earth’s surface
2
Q
What are some factors that affect GPE
A
More height = More potential energy
More mass = More potential energy
3
Q
What is kinetic energy
A
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by moving objects
4
Q
What are some factors that affect Kinetic energy
A
The velocity (more velocity = higher kinetic energy)
The mass (more mass = higher kinetic energy)
