Potential and Kinetic Energy Check

Master potential & kinetic energy! Sort images, match terms, and understand energy in motion.

Sort it Out! Classify each picture as potential or kinetic energy. Potential Kinetic Match it Up! Match each word to its best description. Potential energy Stored energy Kinetic energy Energy of motion Gravitational potential energy Increases as an object's height increases Chemical potential energy Held in the bonds between atoms An increase in speed is an increase in kinetic energy Pushing down on a spring compresses it as shown in the diagram.This increases the _ energy of the spring. kinetic potential chemical electrical At which position does the cart have the greatest POTENTIAL energy and the least kinetic energy? A B C D At which position does the cart have the greatest KINETIC energy and the least potential energy? A B C D As the skateboarder travels down the hill, his kinetic energy - will decrease will increase will remain the same will transfer to potential energy Choose the best word from the list to complete each blank. When you wind up a toy like the one shown, you are providing potentialenergy to the toy. When the toy is released, this energy is transformedto motion and the toy will show kineticenergy. Energy can be transformedbetweenkinetic and potential energy and back again without changing the totalamount of energy.
