Q2
Which of the following describes kinetic energy?
energy in chemical bonds
energy from the sun
energy stored in an object
energy of motion
30s
Q3
When does potential energy convert to kinetic energy?
when an object is at rest
when an object is stationary
when an object starts to move
when an object is lifted
30s
Q4
What is the main difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stored, while kinetic energy is energy in motion
Kinetic energy can be stored, but potential energy cannot
Potential energy comes from heat, kinetic energy does not
They are the same type of energy

it decreases while kinetic energy increases
it changes to thermal energy
it stays the same
it increases while kinetic energy decreases
30s
Q6
Which object has the most potential energy?
a book on a high shelf
a rolling ball
a flying bird
