System
What is A group of parts that work together as a whole
Tell us the definition of gravitational potential energy.
the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position
What type of energy does a trampoline have when you are standing on it?
What is elastic potential energy?
True or false: Potential energy is movement energy? If false for extra points tell us what type of energy it really is.
What is False and stored energy?
An assertion, usually supported by evidence
Claim
Tell us the definition of elastic potential energy.
What is potential energy caused by something being compressed?
On top of a roller coaster, which energy do you have?
What is potential energy?
If an object is at rest, then it does not have any kinetic energy.
TRUE - Kinetic energy depends upon speed. If there is no speed (the object is at rest), then there is no kinetic energy.
Energy
The ability to do work or cause change
A diving board just before someone dives
Elastic Potential Energy
If an object is on the ground, then it does not have any kinetic energy.
FALSE - If an object is on the ground, then it does not have potential energy.
Transfer
to move from one object to another or one place to another
Faster moving objects always have a greater kinetic energy.
FALSE - Faster moving objects would have more kinetic energy than other objects of the same mass. However, another object could have less speed and make up for this lack of speed in terms of a greater mass.
convert
to change from one form to another
Mr.Townsend is the best teacher in my school
TRUE
the __________ an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has
Faster
