What is potential energy?

stored energy

What is kinetic energy?

the energy of motion

A moving object always has

kinetic energy

If an object is not moving, it has

potential energy

Who has more potential energy, a skier on top of a hill or a skier half way down the hill?

The skier on top of the hill.

When would the kinetic energy in a ball become potential energy?

Ex: When the ball is rolled up a hill and stops at the top

Which diagram shows the spring with the most potential?

What best describes what is happening when a moving car comes to a stop?

The car’s kinetic energy is decreasing and its potential energy is increasing.

Which one of the following situation involves potential energy changing into kinetic energy?

Explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion while potential energy is stored energy waiting to be used

Which number represents the position when the car has the most kinetic energy?

Which number represents the position when the car has the most potential energy?
