  • 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 number represents the position when the car has the most potential energy?
    2
  • 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.
  • What is potential energy?
    stored energy
  • Which number represents the position when the car has the most kinetic energy?
    3
  • What is kinetic energy?
    the energy of motion
  • 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.
  • Explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy.
    Kinetic energy is energy in motion while potential energy is stored energy waiting to be used
  • If an object is not moving, it has
    potential energy
  • Which one of the following situation involves potential energy changing into kinetic energy?
    C
  • A moving object always has
    kinetic energy
  • Which diagram shows the spring with the most potential?
    D
