How are work and kinetic energy related?
For work to be done, there must be energy. Potential energy is the stored energy that something needs to begin work.
Identify the 5 types of potential energy and give an example of each.
Gravitational- a ball being held in the air Electric- static electricity not yet used Elastic (Mechanical)- rubber band stretched Chemical- battery Nuclear- nuclear power plant
Give an example of something with a high amount kinetic energy.
High speed train
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
KE= ½mv2
Describe what happens to kinetic energy when potential energy increases.
Kinetic energy decreases as potential energy increases and vice versa
Identify the 5 types of kinetic energy and give an example of each.
Radiant- electromagnetic energy that moves in waves- example. Sunlight, visible light Sound- movement through longitudinal waves caused by vibration Electrical- flow of charged particles like lightning Thermal- toaster or heater Motion- anything that moves like wind and waves
Write a scientific explanation as to which platform would have the most potential energy for a diver. You should include a claim, evidence and justification using the information given in the image below - Image on google classroom.
Sample Claim: The 10 m platform would provide the greatest potential energy to the diver. Sample Evidence: The 1 m springboard is the closest to the pool surface. The 3 m springboard is in between the 1 m and 10 m platforms. The 10 m platform has the greatest distance from the pool surface. Sample Reasoning: Objects gain stored potential energy as distance increases from the center of the Earth (point of reference)
Give an example of something with low kinetic energy.
Snail or sloth
What is the definition of potential energy?
Stored energy
Rank the following in order of most potential energy to least potential energy. ___ A person standing on top of a desk ___ A person standing on the top of a building ___ A person standing on the floor
_2__ A person standing on top of a desk _1__ A person standing on the top of a building _3__ A person standing on the floor
What is the PE of the boulder as it smashes into the ground?
zero J
