100
these activities require energy
What is playing and jumping.

A car is moving 10 miles per hour. Which of the following do we know is true? a. The car does not have potential energy. b. The car has potential energy. c. The car does not have kinetic energy. d. The car has kinetic energy.
What is d. The car has kinetic energy.
100
Describe a time when an object experiences a shift between kinetic and potential energy. Make sure to explain how you can tell that energy is being shifted.
What is answers will vary.The different scenarios can include a ball being thrown into the air, a ball being dropped, a sled going down a hill, and so on.As long as the student can correctly explain their scenario by describing the shift between kinetic and potential energy, then their answer is acceptable.
100
__________________ is the potential to do things.
What is energy.
200
we do these activities to give us the energy we need
What is sleeping and eating.
200
A ball is held still in the air. Because of this, it possesses: a. kinetic energy b. potential energy c. light energy d. both A and B
What is b. potential energy
200
Two blocks, a blue one and a pink one, are pushed across the ground. The blue block is moving noticeably faster than the pink block. Which block has more energy? Which block will go the farthest? Why?
What is the blue block will move the farthest. Since the blue block has more energy, it will roll farther before stopping in comparison to the pink block. The blue block has more kinetic energy than the pink block because it is moving faster. Kinetic energy depends on the speed of an object.
200
Energy that exists due to motion is called __________________ energy.
What is kinetic.
300
energy that depends on how fast an object is moving
What is kinetic energy.
300
Which of these statements is always true? a. As an object slows down, its potential energy decreases. b. As an object speeds up, its kinetic energy increases. c. Total Mechanical Energy represents kinetic energy and chemical energy. d. Potential energy is always equal to kinetic energy.
What is b. As an object speeds up, its kinetic energy increases.
300
Marybel was carrying her dishes to the sink when she dropped the plate. The plate hit the floor and shattered, making a loud cracking sound. Explain the kinetic and potential energy when the plate is dropped and when the plate hits the ground. Make sure to explain why the plate shattered.
What is when the plate is dropped, it has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy. When the plate hits the ground, it has no potential energy and maximum kinetic energy. The plate shatters because it collides with the floor (the floor “pushes” on the plate).
300
An object with more __________________ has more kinetic energy.
What is speed.
400
kinetic and potential energy added together
What is total mechanical energy
400
As a sled goes down a hill, a. kinetic energy increases, potential energy stays the same b. kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases c. kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases d. kinetic energy decreases, potential energy decreases
What is c. kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases
400
A student on a sled starts at the top of a hill. She slides down the hill, keeps sliding at the bottom and then goes up another smaller hill. Draw a picture of the sled at three different times (for example, at the top, sliding down and sliding at the bottom – or any three times you want to choose). Rank and label 1 to 3 (with 3 being the greatest) the amount of kinetic energy and potential energy for each time you choose.
See visual for answer.
400
__________________ means that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is conservation of energy.
500
quantity that represents how much kinetic energy and object has
What is speed.
500
If you know that an object has a large amount of potential energy, what is most likely true about the object? a. It is big. b. It is high off the ground. c. It is moving fast. d. It is going down a hill.
What is b. It is high off the ground
500
A ball is thrown into the air. It comes back down and is caught. Draw a picture of the ball at three different times (for example, going up, stopping at the top, and going down – or any three times you want to choose). Rank and label 1 to 3 (with 3 being the greatest) the amount of kinetic energy and potential energy for each time.
See drawing for answer.
