Potential and Kinetic Energy Flashcards
What is Potential Energy?
Potential Energy is energy that is stored (waiting to be used).
What is Kinetic Energy?
Kinetic Energy is an something that is in motion (moving).
What is gravity?
Gravity is a force that punches and keeps things down. This is how things do not fly away.
What is energy?
Energy is a object doing work.
What is work?
Work is when a force that applies to something and it makes it do something.
If you were on a bike ride and you got to a hill. Would you have more potential energy at the top of a hill or more kinetic energy.
You would have more Potential Energy.
What is friction?
Friction is objects rubbing against each other.
How does Potential energy become Kinetic energy
The way Potential energy becomes Kinetic energy is it is transferred and becomes another type of energy.
Can I distroty energy?
No, energy can never be made or distorted it is just transferred.
