Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsEnergyGCSEAQA Created by: Daisy Fletcher-CooneyCreated on: 26-02-15 17:48 What is gravitational potential energy? The energy an object has because of its position in a gravitational field. 1 of 6 What does lifting an object do? It does work against the gravitational force (weight). 2 of 6 What happens as a result? The object gains gravitational potential energy. 3 of 6 What happens when an object falls? Its GPE is transferred into KE. 4 of 6 What is kinetic energy? The energy an object has when it is moving. It depends on the mass and speed of the object. 5 of 6 Exam tip: Don't forget that v^2 means velocity squared, or v x v 6 of 6
