The image shows a stretched rubber band which is not yet moving. This is an example of ___________ energy.
potential
Give an example in which kinetic energy is converted to potential energy?
must be an example of something slowing down
Which position has the equal amounts of Kinetic & Potential Energy?
B
Walking down the street
Kinetic Energy
At what point is the POTENTIAL ENERGY at its highest?
1
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.
In the bar graph shown in the image, potential energy + kinetic energy = __________ energy.
total
Which position has the greatest amount of Potential Energy?
A
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.)
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.
