The ball in position E has only kinetic energy, no potential energy. (TRUE or FALSE)
FALSE The ball in position E has some potential and some kinetic energy.
A kid is jumping up and down on a pogo stick. When (or where) is all of his energy converted into almost all kinetic energy?
at the bottom of each jump (or just before touching the ground)
The image shows a stretched rubber band which is not yet moving. This is an example of ___________ energy.
potential
In the image, how does the potential energy of the woman half-way up the ladder compare to the potential energy of the woman on top of the ladder?
The woman half-way up the ladder has only half as much PE. (Or the woman at the top has twice as much as the woman half-way down the ladder.)
Gas in a car tank, a battery, and food sitting on a plate are examples of ___________ energy.
chemical / potential
What will happen to this water skier's potential energy as he falls back down toward the water?
potential energy will decrease
In the bar graph shown in the image, potential energy + kinetic energy = __________ energy.
total
