The amount of matter in an object
What is mass?
Formula for calculating PE?
What is PE = m x g x h
Which has more Kinetic Energy, a ball moving at 3 m/s or 5 m/s?
What is 5 m/s?
In calculating PE problems, the unit used for height?
What is a meter?
How fast an object is traveling in a certain direction.
What is velocity?
Calculate the PE of a rock that has a mass of 60 kg and is 10 m high.
What is 5880 J
In calculting PE and KE problems- the unit used for mass?
What is Kilogram?
The difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?
What is Kinetic energy is motion and Potential energy is stored energy due to it's position (height).
How much potential energy would a 3 kg table have if it's at the top of a hill 117 m high?
What is 3439.8 J
In calculating KE problems, the unit used for velocity
What is m/s?
The force that pulls us towards the ground. 9.8 m/s2
What is gravity?
Which has more potential energy, a calculator on the ground or a calculator on the table 1.5 m high?
What is on the table. (greater height)
Unit is used for PE and KE
What are Joules (or newton meter)?
Definition for height and how is it measured scientifically?
How high, or tall something is, measured in meters.
Why might there be (slightly) more Potential Energy at the top of a rollercoaster than the total amount of energy at the very end of the ride?
What is some energy is converted to friction, heat, and sound energy?
Two ways to write the unit for energy (name and units for each one)
What are Joules (or newton meter)?
