Potential energy
What does PE stand for
What is Potential Energy
What does KE stand for
Kinetic energy
When you knock over a line of dominoes, what happens to the kinetic energy?
It gets transferred from one domino to the next.
Define energy
causing an object to move or change
What is Ms. Johnson's favorite Disney movie?
Aladdin (runner up: Hercules)
Potential energy is found in
Every item/object
Will accept specific examples (ball not moving, fan not spinning, batteries, food, gas, etc)
Kinetic energy is caused by
Motion
Will accept words that deal with movement
If you drop a bowling ball off of a roof, where does it have the most kinetic energy?
Just before it hits the ground.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or change forms.
What is Ms. Johnson's comfort food?
spaghetti
The higher an object the more
Potential energy
The faster an item moves
The more kinetic energy it has
If your meatball is placed on top of a mound of spaghetti, what type of energy does it have?
potential energy
Atop my spaghetti~~~ all covered in cheese~~~ I lost my poor meatball~~~ when somebody sneezed~~~ it rolled off the table~~~ and onto the floor~~~ and then my poor meatball~~~ it rolled out the door~~~
What is the formula for potential energy?
PE=mgh
How long is the drive from NJ to Lincoln University-Missouri?
About 16 hours
Potential energy is
Stored energy
Kinetic energy is
The energy of motion
As a roller coaster moves down a hill, what happens to its potential energy?
It converted into kinetic energy
What has the greatest effect on an object's kinetic energy?
It's speed/velocity
How long is the drive from NJ to Virginia State University?
About 6 hours
(5.5 if you leave around 1 am)
The amount of potential energy is determined by its
Height
Will accept mass
The amount of kinetic energy is determined by its
Speed/velocity and mass
DAILY DOUBLE
What happens to the kinetic energy of a glass when it falls and breaks?
Some of it transfers into the floor and air. Some of it becomes sound. Some is carried by the pieces in different directions.
What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?
KE = 1/2 x mass x velocity2
