PS3-2 #11 Two cars are driving down a hill. One car is full of passengers, so it has a lot of mass but the other only has the driver. Both drivers hit a patch of ice and are about to hit a tree on the side of the road. What additional information do you need to know to figure out how much kinetic energy each cart will have when they hit the tree?

a)

how fast each car was going

b)

how far away (distance) the tree was from each car

c)

the size (mass) of the tree

d)

how high the hill was

12.

b)
c)
d)
13.

PS3-2 #13 Three bowling balls, all with a mass of 1kg, are dropped to the ground. The red one is dropped from 1m. The blue one is dropped from 5m. The purple one is dropped from 15m. Which statement below best describes the amount of energy when each bowling ball hits the ground?

a)

The red bowling ball will have more energy because it had more gravitational potential energy.

b)

The purple bowling ball will have more energy because it had more gravitational potential energy.

c)

They will all have the same energy because they have the same mass.

d)

Bowling balls are not living, so they do not have energy.
