Questions and Answers

What is energy and why is it important?

Energy is the ability to work and is important because it enables motion and changes in matter.

Define kinetic energy and provide an example.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion; for example, a moving bicycle has kinetic energy.

What is potential energy and how does it relate to motion?

Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work; it converts to kinetic energy when an object starts to move.

Describe a scenario where potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

<p>When a roller coaster reaches the top of a hill (potential energy) and then descends, it converts that energy into motion (kinetic energy).</p> Signup and view all the answers

Can energy be used in everyday life, and if so, how?

Study Notes

Energy and its Types

  • Energy is the ability to do work, causing things to move or change.
  • Examples of energy in use are wind, sunlight, and falling leaves.
  • Energy enables motion and change.

Kinetic Energy

  • Kinetic energy describes energy in use as an object moves.

Potential Energy

  • Potential energy is stored energy, waiting to be used.
  • Many items initially have potential energy.
  • As they move, this potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.
  • Example: A parked car has potential energy; when driven, it gains kinetic energy.
