(per 2) Potential and kinetic energy

Master potential & kinetic energy! Roller coasters, friction, and more.

Look at the image bellow and notice how the potential and kinetic energy increases and decreases as the roller coaster moves on the tracks. 1. At which position does the cart have the greatest potential energy and the least kinetic energy? A B C D 2. Which letter represents kinetic energy transferring into potential energy? A B C D 3. As the skateboarder travels down the hill, his kinetic energy - will decrease will increase will remain the same will transfer to chemical energy 4. Picture Sort Classify each picture as potential or kinetic energy. Potential (4 pictures) Kinetic (6 pictures) 5. Match it Up! Match each word to its best description. Potential energy Stored energy Kinetic energy Energy of motion Law of conservation of energy energy cannot be created or destroyed Chemical energy energy stored in molecules, examples include food, fuel, and batteries. Always potential energy. Energy transformation when energy changes from one form to another Radiant energy energy that travels in electromagnetic waves, includes all forms of light. Always kinetic energy. 6. Sort it out! Decide if the examples are kinetic or potential. Kinetic Energy A bobsled is moving at its fastest speed around the final turn. A swimmer in the middle of a 50 m race. A flowing river Sunshine Potential Energy A tank full of gasoline A book sitting on a shelf A baseball BEFORE it leaves the pitcher's hand A plate of hot food A fully stretched rubber band 7. What is the stored energy in an object due to its position called? Kinetic Energy Gravity Potential Energy Height Energy ‪Energy Skate Park Select "friction." Check the boxes for "pie chart" and "bar graph." Skateboard Interactive 8. Adding 'lots' of friction causes the skater to.. go faster go slower and stop stop moving immediately fall off the skateboard 9. The most potential energy would be found at ... at the end of a road at the bottom of a hill at the top of a hill 10. When kinetic energy goes up, potential energy goes... down up stays the same 11. True or False: potential energy is energy in motion. true false
