PS3-1 #5 Jeremiah carried out an experiment using a pendulum. She lifted the metal ball and let it swing freely for a period of time. Which position shows the change of kinetic energy into potential?
A to B
B to C
A to C
There is no energy conversion taking place.
PS3-1 #6 Below are 4 roller coaster carts. Each adult has the same mass. Which of the following cars has the greatest kinetic energy?
A
B
C
D
PS3-1 #7 Which graph shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?
PS3-2 #8 A baseball pitcher pitches a baseball. If the pitcher wanted to decrease the amount of kinetic energy the ball had when it made contact with the bat, what could the pitcher change?
Increase the speed he pitches the ball
Use a baseball with a lower mass
The pitcher could stand further away from the batter
The pitcher could stand closer to the batter
PS3-2 #9 A student is investigating potential and kinetic energy by stretching an elastic hair tie. When the student lets go, the elastic hair tie is flung across the classroom. At which time is potential energy in the spring being converted into kinetic energy?
A
B
C
D
PS3-2 #10 Which picture shows the spring when it has the most potential energy?
A
B
C
D
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?
how fast each car was going
how far away (distance) the tree was from each car
the size (mass) of the tree
how high the hill was
PS3-2 #12 A person uses a bow to shoot an arrow at a target. Which diagram shows when potential energy is converting to kinetic energy?
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?
The red bowling ball will have more energy because it had more gravitational potential energy.
The purple bowling ball will have more energy because it had more gravitational potential energy.
They will all have the same energy because they have the same mass.
Bowling balls are not living, so they do not have energy.
