1. Do Now Heading: Potential Energy
Pick up a worksheet from the front table
Write the homework in your homework log

2. Write/Answer the Following Question
A 70 Kg man is running up a 10 meter hill with a velocity of 5 m/s.
What is the kinetic energy of the man?(Don’t forget units!)
After the man finishes his run he stops to watch the sunrise. Does the man have energy after his run?
Can you guess what type of energy he might have?

3. Types of Energy The Main 2 Types of Energy Kinetic Energy
2) Potential Energy
But remember whenever your hear sound, feel heat, or see light, you are experiencing ENERGY!

4. Food For Thought
“What does it mean when someone tell you that you have the potential to do something?”
Answer this question with at least 3 complete sentences and an example to support your sentences.

6. Kinetic and Potential Energy
Describe what you see, hear, and anything else you observed, in the table, when I mixed the two ingredients together.
Did you observe any types of energy?(hint: look at your list
of energies )

7. Potential Energy

8. Gravitational Potential Energy

9. Potential Energy GPE=m*g*h g=10 m/s2
A 70 Kg man is running up a 10 meter hill with a velocity of 5 m/s.
What is the mass of the man?
How high up is the man?
What is the man’s gravitational potential energy?
GPE=m*g*h
g=10 m/s2
