04 - Classwork - Types of Energy

The document provides a science classwork assignment on identifying different types of energy at various points in systems involving motion and potential, such as a roller coaster, circuit, and bungee jumping. Students are asked questions about examples of kinetic energy, potential energy, and the energy stored in batteries or given off by the sun. The assignment also reviews definitions of key energy terms and the law of conservation of energy.

SCIENCE CLASSWORK: Identifying energy

types
1. In the picture

on the right, the roller coaster

car isnt
kind of

moving at Point W. What


energy does it have?
________________________

2. Now, the
roller coaster
starts and
the car goes
forward. What two types of energy does it have at
Point Y?
________________________

________________________

3. At what point does the roller coaster car have the most
kinetic energy? ____
I know this because

4. The picture on the right shows a circuit.


What kind of energy is stored in
the battery?
____________________
5. When the switch is turned on,
what kind of energy is moving
through the circuit?
________________________
6. What types of energy are the
bulbs putting out?

7. Bungee jumpers jump off of high places with a stretchy


cord tied around their feet. The picture on the right
shows a bungee jumper right after he has jumped. As
he falls, what kind of energy does the
bungee jumper have?
____________________
8. Before he jumped, what kind of energy did the
bungee jumper have?
____________________
9. As the jumper falls, the bungee cord stretches. When
the jumper reaches his lowest point before
he starts moving back up, what
kind of energy does this show?

10.What type of energy is the Sun in the background
giving off?

Energy and Work


Work
Work the use of ____________________ to
_________________ an object some _________________
Anytime you_____________________ something, you are
applying _____________________.
If something does not _____________________, no
_________________ was done.
Lets try thisrecord your observations below

Energy
______________________ causes ______________________
to happen
Two types of energy
-

Kinetic energy ___________________________________


Potential energy ____________________________________

Energy can be transferred between


______________________ or change form

Kinetic Energy

Any ___________________ object has some type of


________________________ energy
The ________________________ something moves, the
__________________________ kinetic energy

Potential Energy
Has anyone ever told you that you have potential?
What did it mean?
Energy something has due to its
________________________________ or

take the perfect shot

Mechanical Energy
The ________________ amount of energy that a system
has is called its _________________________________
energy.
Lets practice with a picture of a pencil falling off of a
desk

Examples
Label the following as examples of kinetic energy,
potential energy or both.
-

Your pencil sitting still on your desk


A train speeding down the tracks
A bird flying overhead
You running a race at a track meet
A textbook sitting on the back counter

Law of Conservation of Energy


Energy within a system is neither
____________________ nor ______________________.
This means that what you ____________________ with is
what you ____________________ with even if it looks
______________________.

Roller Coaster Example

Using your chromebooks, look up and define the following
