Kinetic and Potential Energy

When a roller coaster is at the top of a hill it has

• high potential energy

• high kinetic energy

• low potential energy

• equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy

When a roller coaster is at the bottom of a hill it has

• high potential energy

• high kinetic energy

• low kinetic energy

• equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy

Kinetic energy depends on

• mass and height

• height and speed

• mass and speed

• mass and force

Potential energy depends on

• mass and height

• height and speed

• mass and speed

• height and force

The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy equals

• work

• transformation

• total energy

• mechanical energy

The amount of force required to move an object is called

• mechanical energy

• work

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

Energy and work are measured in

• kilograms

• meters

• Joules

• m/s

I am holding a balloon that is full of air, the balloon has
