P OTENTIAL AND K INETIC E NERGY
2
W HAT IS E NERGY ? The ability to do ______ Two Types of Energy ___________ Energy work Potential Kinetic
3
W HAT IS P OTENTIAL E NERGY ? __________________: the ______________an object has due to its position, shape, or condition. ● Examples: a rock at the top of a hill(gravitational) potential energy builds up between fault lines at the Earth’s tectonic plates. the food you eat (chemical) stretched rubber band (mechanical) Potential energy stored energy
4
W HAT IS K INETIC E NERGY ? ________________: the________________. ● All moving objects have kinetic energy. ● Examples: a moving car (mechanical) an earthquake a roller coaster a person running light bulb (radiant) lightning (electrical) Kinetic energy energy in motion
5
Potential Energy can be ____________into Kinetic energy ● As an object’s _______________ INCREASES, the ______________ DECREASES. ● As an object’s ______________ DECREASES, the ______________ INCREASES. transformed kinetic energy potential energy kinetic energy potential energy
6
W HICH BOOK HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL ENERGY ? _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ ___________________ The book on the shelf has the most potential energy because it has the farthest to fall, it is farthest from the ground.

W HICH IS W HICH Look at each picture and circle what type of energy it is showing… Potential Kinetic Potential Kinetic Potential Kinetic Potential Kinetic Potential Kinetic Potential Kinetic
9
W HICH IS W HICH Label which diver is showing potential energy and which is showing kinetic energy… Kinetic Energy Potential Energy

E NERGY S TORY Look at the archer below. Describe the transfer of energy from the time the archer loads the bow, aims, and shoots the target… ____________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ______

E NERGY S TORY Look at the archer below. Describe the transfer of energy from the time the archer loads the bow, aims, and shoots the target… __As the archer pulls the bowstring back he increase the potential energy of the arrow. When he releases the bowstring the arrow starts its forward momentum (Kinetic). When the arrow is traveling the fastest it has the most kinetic energy._____________________________ ____
