Types Of Energy
Energy that an object has due to motion
What is kinetic energy?
The metric unit that kinetic energy is measured in
What are joules (J)?
The metric unit that potential energy is measured in
What are joules (J)?
This is where potential energy is decreasing
What is point B ?
The ability to do work or cause a change
What is work?
Stored energy that results from an object’s position, height or shape
What is potential energy?
This is the formula used to calculate kinetic energy
What is
KE=1/2*m*v^2
This is the formula used to calculate potential energy
What is
PE = m*g*h
Where does the roller coaster have the least potential energy?
What is point C ?
Whenever energy is transformed, some energy is converted into this
What is thermal (heat) energy?
Kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object
What is mechanical energy?
These are two factors that affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has
What are mass and velocity?
These are two factors that affect the amount of potential energy an object has
What are mass and height?
Where does the roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
What is point A ?
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted or transformed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy ?
This type of energy is associated with objects that can be compressed or stretched.
What is Elastic potential energy?
This is the kinetic energy of a 100 kg deer running at a speed of 8 m/s (calculate)
What is 3,200 J ?
This is the potential energy of a 17 kg book that is placed on a shelf that is 4.5 m high (calculate)
What is 749.7 J ?
This is where kinetic energy is decreasing
What is point D ?
This formula is used to calculate mechanical energy
What is ME = KE + PE ?
This is potential energy (PE) that depends on height
What is gravitational potential energy?
This is the kinetic energy of a 120 kg running back who is running at a velocity of 9 m/s towards the end zone
What is 4,860 J ?
This is the gravitational potential energy of a boulder with a mass of 25 kg and located on the edge of a cliff that is 45 m high.
What is 11,025 J ?
This location has more PE than point B
What is point A ?
This is the process of changing energy from one form to another
What is Energy Transformation ?
