In this space tell what Potential Energy is.

In this space name the 3

types of Potential

energy. Which type is the

most important to you? Justify your answer.

Find a picture for each type of potential energy and put in the boxes above.

In this space write theformula for PotentialEnergy.

Look at this Example: A hiker weighing 680 NewtonsClimbs up a hill 40 meters high. How many Joules of Gravitational Potential Energy (G.P.E.) has the hiker gained?•G.P.E. = Weight x Height•680N x 40m = 27,200 Nm -OR- 27,200 Joules

Potential Energy Formula

In this space solve this problem: Find the Potential energy (Use the formula above and plug in the numbers)

A soccer ball that weighs 10 Newtons is kicked 100 feet into the sky. What is it’sGravitational Potential energy?

Kinetic Energy

In this space answer the questions:

What affects Kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy depends on an objects m__________and its ___________________.

THINK: Which ball would you have to push harder toGet rolling?Once rolling, the bowling ball would have more k______ energy then a golf ball rolling at the sameVelocity (speed).
