KINETIC ENERGY
LEARNING GOALS
Describe Kinetic Energy
Describe the relationship between KE and PE
KINETIC ENERGY
Kinetic Energy: The energy of an object that is due to the object’s motion or action.
MAXIMUM KINETIC ENERGY
Maximum Kinetic Energy- When the motion or action of the object is at its greatest.
MINIMUM KINETIC ENERGY
Minimum Kinetic Energy- When the motion or action of the system is at its least.
PENDULUM LAB
Scientific Question: How are kinetic and potential energy related?
Safety precautions: Use the pendulum only as demonstrated in class. Keep all yard sticks on the tables.
PE/KE RELATIONSHIP
How are PE and KE related?When is PE at its max?When is KE at its max?When are PE and KE equal?
PE/KE RELATIONSHIP
PE and KE have an INVERSE relationship.As one goes up, the other goes down.
INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY

Kinetic
PRACTICE PROBLEM
ROLLER COASTER LAB
Goals: SI: Record observations correctly Energy: Analyze the amount of kinetic and
potential energy in a system. Question
How does the amount of potential energy in a system effect the amount of kinetic energy in a system?
Safety Precautions Marbles are to stay on the tracks only. Do not stand on chairs or tables. Keep tracks out of the isle.
