*
I can identify different forms of energy. (Review Quizlet Energy terms) I can categorize each form of energy as potential or kinetic. (See Energy for kids website linked to my homepage) I can trace energy transformations *
*
(practice the questions below) I can explain the Law of Conservation of Energy. (Reread pages 158-­‐163 in Energy text) I can identify variables in an experiment (review Energy Bike Lab)
Record the energy transformations for the objects in the order in which they occur. Categorize each energy form as Potential, Kinetic or Both Elastic/Mechanical Gravitational Motion Nuclear Chemical Radiant Potential Either Potential/Kinetic Sound Thermal
Kinetic Electrical Label the points in a golfer’s swing where the club has maximum gravitational potential energy and
maximum kinetic energy.
Label where the ball has maximum potential energy. Label where the ball has maximum kinetic energy.
Law of Conservation of Energy
What does the law of conservation of energy state?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Use the Law of Conservation of Energy to explain why the second hill of the roller coaster, shown in the picture above, is not as high as the first. (Hint: Think about the energy transformations that occurred during the ride. Was 100% of the gravitational potential transformed into kinetic energy?) ______________________________________________________________________
