If the speed of a moving object is tripled, what affect does it have on the object's kinetic energy?

• The kinetic energy is increased by a factor of nine.

• The kinetic energy is decreased by a factor of three.

• The kinetic energy is increased by a factor of six

• Tripling the speed does not affect the object's kinetic energy.

• The kinetic energy is increased by a factor of three.

A 3.00 kg toy falls from a height of 1.00 m. What will the kinetic energy of the toy be just before the toy hits the ground? (Assume no air resistance and that g = 9.81 m/s2.)

• 294 J

• 0.98 J

• 98.0 J

• 29.4 J

Harry climbs a mountain that is 80 meters high. How much potential energy does he gain if he weighs 900 Newtons?

• 7.20 x 10^4 J

• 7.06 x 10^5 J

• 1.13 x 10^1 J

• 7.35 x 10^3 J

Match Potential energy to the correct definition:

• The energy of an object due to its position

• The energy of an object due to its motion

• Equal to Work

• The rate of doing work

• The product of force times displacement in the direction of the displacement
