Potential and kinetic energy

Unlock the secrets of potential and kinetic energy! This worksheet helps 6th graders classify, match, and apply energy concepts.

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 As the skateboarder travels down the hill, he's 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 transferredto motion and the toy will show kineticenergy. Energy can be transferred betweenkinetic and potential energy and back again. Sort these. There are 4 potential, 4 kinetic, and 2 for both. Kinetic energy from motion increases as object falls depends on speed only found in moving objects Potential stored energy increases with height depends on position only found in objects at rest Both can be converted into the other form of energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred Label each of these moments on the roller coaster. You can copy and paste the choices from here- to make sure you have it spelled correctlyGreatest potential energyIncreasing potential energyIncreasing kinetic energyGreatest kinetic energy Greatest potential energy Increasing kinetic energy Increasing potential energy Greatest kinetic energy Match the movement of the car with the labels. The car is moving in ALL THE PICTURES! Increasing potential, decreasing kinetic High potential, low kinetic Decreasing potential, increasing kinetic Low potential, high kinetic Select the correct word for the blank. Pay attention to the sentence, because this is IMPORTANT! Total mechanical energy (TME) can be found by adding potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). The total mechanical energy (TME) is always the SAME since the energy is only transferred, not created nor destroyed. The _ the object, the more potential energy it has. higher lower The _ an object is going, the more kinetic energy it has. slower faster
