TRANSCRIPT
Kinetic Energy
• Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion
• All moving objects have Kinetic Energy (KE )
• What determines an object’s KE?– Mass & Velocity
determine the KE of an object.
Potential Energy
• Potential Energy (PE ) is stored energy– It has the potential or
“possibility” to do work
• Gravitational PE is energy that depends on height
• Elastic PE is for objects that can be stretched.
Which of the following is an example of Kinetic Energy?
•Compacted spring
A
•Boulder atop a mountain
B
•Boulder rolling down a mtn.
C
•Bike at the top of half pipe
D
A bow string that is pulled back and ready to fire is…
•Gravitational PE
A
•Elastic PE
B
•Rubber KE
C
•Elastic KE
