GeneralGeneral kinds of energy kinds of energyEnergy fits into one of two Energy fits into one of two categories: categories:

1.1. kinetic energy or kinetic energy or

2.2. potential energypotential energy

Kinetic energyKinetic energyEnergy of motionEnergy of motion–Also “released” Also “released” energy”energy”

Potential energyPotential energyStored energyStored energy–Energy at “rest”Energy at “rest”

Gravitational potential energyGravitational potential energy(G.P.E.)(G.P.E.)

Amount of potential energy based on the mass Amount of potential energy based on the mass and height of an objectand height of an objectThe higher the object is raised, the more potential The higher the object is raised, the more potential energy it hasenergy it hasThe more mass an object has, the more potential The more mass an object has, the more potential energy it hasenergy it has

Measuring Kinetic Energy Measuring Kinetic Energy

The faster the object, the greater the The faster the object, the greater the kinetic energykinetic energy– K.E. = ½ x mass x velocity (speed)K.E. = ½ x mass x velocity (speed)2 2

If the mass increases, kinetic energy If the mass increases, kinetic energy increases, but not as much as if the speed increases, but not as much as if the speed increasesincreases

Base your answers to questions 67 and 68 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of science. The diagram shows two students ready to dive into a pool.67 Explain why student B has more potential energy than student A. [1]_______________________68 Student A dives from the board into the water. Explain why student A’s kinetic energy decreases as the student enters the water. [1]______________________
