Transfer between KE and GPE

Cards (4)

  • What happens to the GPE of an object as it falls?
    The GPE of an object decreases as it falls
  • What happens to the kinetic store of a ball that rolls down a hill?
    It will increase as the GPE is transferred to the kinetic store
  • A ball is thrown upwards in the air. What happens to the GP and kinetic energy stores of the ball?
    GPE increases and kinetic energy decreases
  • What happens to the kinetic store of a ball as it falls through the air?
    Increases as it falls towards the ground
