a)

100 J

b)

250 J

c)

500 J

What is the formula to calculate potential energy?

a)

PE = 1/2kx^2

b)

PE = mgh

c)

PE = 1/2mv^2

d)

PE = Fd

3.

a)

The potential energy is 100.8 Joules

b)

The potential energy is 78.4 Joules

c)

The potential energy is 50.2 Joules

d)

The potential energy is 10.5 Joules

4.

a)

20 J

b)

20 N

c)

200 J

6.

Explain the relationship between kinetic and potential energy.

a)

Kinetic energy is always greater than potential energy.

b)

They have no relationship, they are completely independent forms of energy.

c)

They are interrelated as potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa.

d)

Potential energy is only found in living organisms, while kinetic energy is only found in non-living objects.
