energy form. Electrical, nuclear, Thermal, and
Mechanical
a.

Energy Transformation
Directions: Each object starts with electrical energy but it converts that
energy into another energy. What energy type does it convert into?
Thermal, Mechanical, or Electromagnetic
Kinetic vs. Potential
Kinetic energy
Potential Energy
• Motion
• Stored (Has the potential to
move)
• The higher the object the
greater the potential energy.
• The closer the object is to the
ground the greater the kinetic
energy.
• KE=1/2(m)v2
KE= kinetic
m= mass
v= velocity
Unit=Joule
• PE=m(g)(h)
PE=Potential
m= mass
g= gravity
h= height
Unit=Joule
The ball starts at rest waiting (PE) to move.
Then with a force it moves down the hill (KE).
If an object has PE it will have KE. You
cannot have one without the other.
