Motion Energy
Identify the kind of energy being transferred in the bowling ball - pin system.
What is Kinetic Energy ?
What type of energy can be used to describe anything that can be stretch or squeezed and returns to its original shape?
Elastic Energy
This is another name for Potential Energy
Gravitational Energy
What are 2 ways a car's kinetic energy can be increased?
Increasing speed and mass.
What type of energy measures temperature?
Thermal Energy
What claim can BEST be made about the motion of the bowling ball and pins when the bowling ball hits the pins?
When they collide, the motion of the ball and pin both change.
What type of energy conversion takes place when an arrow is released ?
Elastic to Kinetic
Using the Law of Conservation of Energy, describe what happens to the total amount of energy in a system from the time the ball is dropped to the time it stops bouncing.
The total amount of energy stays the same. The ball stops as energy is transferred from the ball to the ground in the forms of sound and kinetic energy.
Nathan placed 4 books of different masses on a bookcase. How could he arrange the books to show the greatest potential energy when only 1 book is on each shelf?
