100

What is the speed of an object rolling at a time of 5 s and at a distance of 400m? 

80 m/s

100

Kinetic Energy is proportional to 

mass and speed.

100

What is Kinetic Energy?

Motion Energy. 

100

What has a greater amount of KE. Explain why.

Object 1: Mass= 13kg Speed=12m/s

Object 2: Mass= 100kg Speed= 12m/s

Object 2: Mass= 100kg Speed = 12m/s.

Because object 2 has a greater mass.

100

At the very top of the 1st drop of a roller coaster, which is greater, KE or PE?

PE

200

What is the speed of an object at 23.65s and 400.45m?

16.93 m/s.

200

The greater the mass, the _____ the kinetic energy is 

greater. 

200

What is Speed?

The rate of change of position (distance) over time.

200

What has less kinetic energy, an object with the mass of 34kg and a speed 2m/s or an object with a speed of 10m/s and a mass of 34 kg?

What is 34kg and 2 m/s.

200

When a Quarterback releases the football on a throw, which one is greater, KE or PE?

KE

300

What is the formula to find speed?

distance over time. (d/t)

300

If speed increases so does 

Kinetic Energy. 

300

What is  Potential Energy?

Stored Energy

300

What has a greater amount of kinetic energy?  Explain why.

Object 1: 200 m/s and 12kg

Object 2: 400 m/s and 12 kg

What is Object 2: 400 m/s and 12kg.

300

Describe which is greater between KE and PE when a rock is rolled down a steep hill. (During each part of the event)

At the top PE is greater and KE is less.

As it goes down KE is greater and PE is less.

When it reaches the bottom PE is greater and KE is less.

400

What is another word for speed?

Velocity.

400

In order to find kinetic energy I need to know 

the mass and the velocity

400

What is Kinetic Energy measured in?

What is joules. 

400

What has the least amount of KE?

Object 1: 12 kg and 30 m/s

Object 2: 12 kg and 1 m/s

Object 2: 12 kg and 1 m/s

400
Does our planet have KE? Why?

Yes, the Earth rotates around its axis and it also rotates around the sun.

500

What does m/s stand for?

What does km/ hr stand for? 

meters/ second

kilometers/ hour

500

As Kinetic Energy increases, _______ decreases.

Potential Energy

500

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form.

500

What has the greater amount of Potential Energy?

Object 1: Mass of 20kg and speed of 10 m/s

Object 2: Mass of 40 kg and speed of 20 m/s

Object 1: Mass of 20kg and speed of 10 m/s

500

A runner is running around a track at about half of her top speed, what does her KE and PE look like during her run?

KE and PE would be equal because she has the potential to double her speed.
