Potential and Kinetic Energy

Understanding Kinetic and Potential energy.

Multiple Choice

Which type of energy has to do with objects in motion?

Potential

Kinetic

Energy

Potential Energy- Energy due to an objects position or condition.
Kinetic Energy - Energy due to an objects motion.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only change.

How to increase potential energy.

There are 2 ways to increase the potential energy of an object in relation to gravity.

-Increase the object's height.

-Increase the object's mass.

Multiple Choice

Which of these has the most potential energy.

Kinetic Energy

The amount of Kinetic energy an object has is related to 2 factors.
Mass of the object
Speed of the object

Multiple Select

If a football player wants to become better at tackling by increasing his or her kinetic energy, how can the player do this?

Increase his/her height

Increase his/her speed

Increase his/her mass

Decrease his/her speed

Potential and Kinetic Energy

Notice that as the kinetic energy increases the potential energy decrease.

When the coaster goes back up the hill the energy is converted back to potential energy.
