Potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy. Give an example of potential energy in everyday life.
Rubber band
A rock
A feather
A running car
What is an example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy in everyday life?
Reading a book
Eating a sandwich
Jumping off a diving board into a pool
Sitting in a chair
When you throw a ball, it has kinetic energy. What type of kinetic energy is this?
Mechanical kinetic energy
Thermal kinetic energy
Potential energy
Chemical kinetic energy
Explain how a moving car has kinetic energy.
A moving car has potential energy, not kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so a moving car has kinetic energy.
A moving car has no energy at all.
Kinetic energy is the energy of rest, so a moving car has kinetic energy.
How does a swinging pendulum demonstrate kinetic energy?
The pendulum demonstrates kinetic energy because it is hanging from a string
The pendulum demonstrates kinetic energy because it is made of metal
The pendulum demonstrates kinetic energy because it is at rest
As the pendulum swings back and forth, it demonstrates kinetic energy because it is in motion.
What is an example of kinetic energy being converted into potential energy in everyday life?
When a ball is rolling downhill
When a car is parked
When a person is sleeping
When a person jumps
When you ride a bike, it has kinetic energy. What type of kinetic energy is this?
Mechanical kinetic energy
Electrical kinetic energy
Thermal kinetic energy
Chemical kinetic energy
