Kinetic/Potential Energy
Name________________________
1. What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?
2. Why is the gravitational potential energy of a 15N book always greater than that of a 10N book at the
same height?
Why does the lower-weight book have more gravitational potential energy at 2 meters than the 15N book
has at 1 meter?
3. Do weight and height have an equal effect on gravitational potential energy?
4. What is an energy conversion?
5. Give two examples of an energy conversion.
6. What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? How does it relate to energy conversions?
7. A rock has a mass of 1.5kg. It was placed on a ledge that had a 4m drop. What is the gravitational
potential energy of the rock as it sits on the ledge?
