Will a moving ball at the bottom of a hill have more kinetic energy than a moving ball at the top of a hill starting at the same point?

What is a ball at the bottom of the hill?

100

Potential energy is in this state

What is stored

100

How much do you have to push on an object to get it to deform (Temporary vs. permanent)

Permanent: is past the elastic limit. Temporary: within the elastic image

100

Will the object with more or less weight be affected more?

What is the object with the least weight

100

What factors go into gravitational potential energy 

What is the object's weight and height from the ground?

200

What is kinetic energy 

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion and depends on its mass and speed

200

What is the unit of energy used for measuring it?

What is a joule?

200

A Head-On-Collision is?

What is two objects moving in opposite directions

200

In the class video of the cars crashing, did the cars get permanently damaged or temporarily?

What is temporary?

300
Elastic potential energy is?

What is the further the object is stretched or compressed, the greater its potential energy is.

300

How many objects need to be moving in a collision

What is at least one

400

In collision B, which object has kinetic energy

What is the object that is not expected to break

400

Gravitational potential energy is?

What is the energy that is caused by the position of the object above Earth's surface? 

400

What happens when two things hit each other

There is a collision and something bends on impact. 

500

The formula for kinetic energy

What is KE=1/2 mv^2

500

The equation for gravitational pull

What is, GPE = 140 N × 4 m = 560 N • m
