Kinetic and Potential Energy stores

Cards (10)

  • What type of energy is associated with the movement of an object?
    Kinetic energy
  • What does movement in an object indicate about its energy?
    It means energy is stored in the object's kinetic energy store
  • What type of energy do raised objects store?
    Gravitational potential energy
  • How do falling objects relate to energy transfer?
    Falling objects transfer energy as they descend
  • What happens when an object is stretched in terms of energy?
    Stretching can transfer energy to elastic potential energy stores
  • How can you make the most of your potential energy?
    • Jump on your bed to utilize gravitational potential energy
    • Engage in activities that convert potential energy into kinetic energy
  • What are the main types of energy stores mentioned?
    • Kinetic energy
    • Gravitational potential energy
    • Elastic potential energy
  • How do kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy differ in terms of their relation to movement?
    Kinetic energy is related to movement, while gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height
  • What is the significance of energy transfer in falling objects?
    It demonstrates how energy can change forms during motion
  • What is the effect of stretching on energy stores?
    It transfers energy to elastic potential energy stores
