Kinetic and Potential Energy Concepts

What type of energy is associated with a moving object?

• Potential energy

• Kinetic energy

• Sound energy

• Thermal energy

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

• A running dog

• A rolling ball

• A parked car on a hill

• A flying bird

How do you calculate kinetic energy?

• One half times mass times velocity squared

• Mass times velocity squared

• Mass times gravity

• Mass times height

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

• Both have the same

• The bicycle

• The car

• Neither has kinetic energy

What is needed to calculate potential gravitational energy?

• Mass, velocity, and time

• Mass, speed, and distance

• Mass, gravity, and height

• Height, speed, and time
