Work, Energy, and Power Name: Energy Read from Lesson 1 of the Work, Energy and Power chapter at The Physics Classroom: /Class/energy/u5l1b.html /Class/energy/u5l1c.html /Class/energy/u5l1d.html MOP Connection: Work and Energy: sublevels 3 and 4 1. Read each of the following statements and identify them as having to do with kinetic energy (KE), potential energy (PE) or both (B). KE, PE or B? Statement: 1. If an object is at rest, it certainly does NOT possess this form of energy . 2. Depends upon object mass and object height. 3. The energy an object possesses due to its motion. 4. The amount is expressed using the unit joule (abbreviated J). 5. The energy stored in an object due to its position (or height). 6. The amount depends upon the arbitrarily assigned zero level. 7. Depends upon object mass and object speed. 8. If an object is at rest on the ground (zero height), it certainly does NOT possess this form of energy. 2. A toy car is moving along with 0.40 j oules of kinetic energy. If its speed is doubled, then its new kinetic energy will be _______. a. 0.10 J b . 0.20 J c. 0.80 J d. 1.60 J e. still 0.40 J 3. A young boys glider is soaring through the air, possessing 0.80 j oules of potential energy. If its speed is doubled and its height is doubled, then the new potential energy will be _______. a. 0.20 J b . 0.40 J c. 1.60 J d. 3.20 J
