| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is energy? | The ability to do work |
| What is work? | The ability to move something |
| Any change in motion requires | energy |
| The energy of motion is called | kinetic energy |
| The amount of kinetic energy depends on an object's | speed and mass |
| An object will have more kinetic energy if it moves | faster |
| An object will have more kinetic energy if it has more | mass |
| Stored energy is called | potential energy |
| An object has the most potential energy when it is as | high as it can be |
| As an object starts to go downward, it ___________ potential energy. | loses |
| Can potential energy be changed to kinetic energy? | yes |
| Can kinetic energy be changed to potential energy? | yes |
| Objects that are __________ or _______________ also have potential energy. | stretched, squeezed (rubber band, wind-up toy) |
