  • Which form of kinetic energy is a rolling ball?
    mechanical energy
  • 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
  • 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)
  • A fish swimming in the river
    Kinetic Energy
  • 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.)
  • In the bar graph shown in the image, potential energy + kinetic energy = __________ energy.
    total
  • Which position has the greatest amount of Potential Energy?
    A
  • Walking down the street
    Kinetic Energy
  • The energy in a battery is ______ energy.
    potential
  • Energy that is moving is ___________.
    Kinetic Energy
  • An archer with his bow drawn
    Potential 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
  • At what point is the POTENTIAL ENERGY at its highest?
    1
  • The image shows a stretched rubber band which is not yet moving. This is an example of ___________ energy.
    potential
  • A baseball thrown to second base
    Kinetic Energy
  • A biker is peddling up a hill he is using __________ energy from the food he has eaten. As he reaches the top the energy is mostly ___________. As he comes down the hill that energy is transformed into ____________.
    Chemical, Potential, Kinetic
  • A bicyclist pedaling up a hill
    Kinetic Energy
  • Give an example in which kinetic energy is converted to potential energy?
    must be an example of something slowing down
  • 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.
  • Which position has the equal amounts of Kinetic & Potential Energy?
    B
  • 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 riding a roller coaster, you go up and down many hills. As you get to the top of a roller coaster, what energy change is taking place?
    kinetic energy is changed into potential energy
  • A bowling ball rolling down the alley
    Kinetic Energy
  • Stored energy is also known as _____ energy.
    potential
  • Which position has the greatest amount of Kinetic Energy?
    C
