How do you know if two variables have a linear relationship? 

If the graph shows a straight line, the variables have linear relationships. 

200

Which factor has a linear relationship with kinetic energy? 

Mass has a linear relationship with kinetic energy. 

200

Which factor has a linear relationship with the potential energy of an object?

An object's mass and height have linear relationships with the potential energy of an object.

How do you know if two variables are proportional to each other mathmatically? 

Two variables are proportional if they are changing at the same rate. 

300

Which factor has a non-linear relationship with kinetic energy? 

Speed has a non-linear relationship with kinetic energy.
300

Which factor has a proportional relationship with potential energy of an object? 

Mass and height have proportional relationship with the potential energy of an object. 

300

Which graph below shows a linear relationship? 



Graph A shows a linear relationship. 
400

How does mass and speed affect the kinetic energy of an object? 

The kinetic energy of an object increase when the mass and speed increase. 

400

How does mass and height affect the potential energy of an object? 

The higher the mass and height, the higher the potential energy.

Does the data in the table show proportional relationships? Why? 

The data in the table shows proportional relationships because the rate of change for x and y variables are the same. 

500

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 50g object travelling at 10m/s. You must show all your work to receive points.


Ek=1/2*m*V2

Ek=1/2*0.05kg*(10m/s)2

Ek=2.5J

Calculate the potential energy of a 1kg object if it is held 5m above the floor. 

Ep=mgh

Ep=(1kg)(9.8m/s2)(5m)

Ep=49J
