What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Remember the equation includes mass and velocity.
Define potential energy.
Think about height and weight.
Which of the following is the correct formula for kinetic energy?
Remember it includes velocity squared.
Potential energy depends on what factors?
Think about objects on a shelf.
A child who weighs 30 kg is on a swing at a height of 2 meters. Calculate the potential energy of the child. If they swing down, what will their kinetic energy be at the lowest point?
Use conservation of energy.
A car with a mass of 900 kg is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy. If this car hits a bump and rises, find the height it could reach while transforming all its kinetic energy into potential energy.
Remember, energy conservation explains this transformation.
