Potential and Kinetic Energy

Master potential and kinetic energy! Fun worksheet explains energy transformation with roller coasters.

Use the following reading to answer the following 4 multiple choice questions. What is the force that acts upon a roller coaster after it reaches the top of the hill? Kinetic Energy Mass Potential Energy Gravity At which position does the roller coaster have the greatest potential energy? At the top of the hill Halfway down the hill Towards the bottom of the hill At the top of a smaller hill Another word for kinetic energy could be _ energy. Safe Moving Stored Potential Using the diagram on the reading, at which point would the cars be losing potential energy and gaining kinetic? At the top of the hill Halfway down the hill At the bottom of the hill Going up the second hill Kinetic and potential energy are the two types of energy that relate to: Change Friction Density Motion What is kinetic energy? The stored energy of an object due to its position or condition The energy that an object has due to its motion The energy an object has due to its existence The energy an object has due to its volume Energy in a Roller Coaster Ride Start by clicking launch. Then complete the table below by clicking step and telling what is happening to the energy each time. The first one is completed for you. Go to the following website. Directions below. Potential vs. Kinetic Kinetic A flowing river A meteor entering the atmospher Bicycling down a ramp A snowboarder coming down a mountain A car rolling down a hill Potential Stretched out rubber band Pendulum at its highest point Skier at the top of the hill Book on a shelf Set mouse trap Use the following video to answer the following 2 questions: Give 2 examples of potential energy from the video. Give 2 examples of kinetic energy from the video. Most Potential Energy Most Kinetic Energy Less Potential Energy Which object has the most potential energy? A ball on the floor. A ball on top of a shelf.
