Kinetic and Potential Energy Song

The video tutorial explains the concepts of kinetic and potential energy, highlighting the law of conservation of energy. It describes kinetic energy as energy in motion, exemplified by a rolling boulder, and potential energy as stored energy, like a stationary car on a hill. The tutorial provides formulas for calculating kinetic energy (1/2 mass times velocity squared) and potential gravitational energy (mass times gravity times height). Examples include comparing the kinetic energy of a car and bicycle and calculating the potential energy of a rock on a cliff.

What type of energy is described as energy in motion?

• Potential energy

• Sound energy

• Thermal energy

• Kinetic energy

Which law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed?

• Law of Conservation of Energy

• Law of Motion

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Thermodynamics

How do you calculate kinetic energy?

• Mass times velocity

• Mass times acceleration

• One half times mass times velocity squared

• Mass times gravity times height

If a car and a bicycle are moving at the same speed, which has more kinetic energy?

• The bicycle, because it is lighter

• The car, because it has more mass

• Both have the same kinetic energy

• It depends on the color of the car

What is the formula for calculating potential gravitational energy?

• Mass times acceleration

• Mass times standard gravity times height

• Mass times velocity squared

• One half times mass times velocity squared
