What’s the Difference between Potential and Kinetic Energy? | Science Max

(d) What is the kinetic energy of an electron traveling at velocity (c)?

Kinetic & Potential Energy Example 1

What is the kinetic energy and velocity of the aluminum
sphere in Problem 1.4 at the moment it hits the ground? (Assume
that energy is conserved during the fall and that 100%
of the sphere’s initial potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy by the time impact occurs.)

Systems with low potential energy tend to change in a direction of high potential energy by releasing energy into the surroundings.

To release energy, a system must change from a higher to a lower energy state.   This describes the opposite type of change from a lower energy state to a higher one.

Energy is seldom conserved in a physical or chemical change.

Potential energy cannot be destroyed; it can only be converted to thermal energy.

Potential energy can be converted to many forms of energy.

In any process, the total quantity of energy involved is constant.

Correct.  This is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.

Energy is the action of a force operating through a certain distance.

 Recall the law of conservation of energy. 

Which has more kinetic energy, a 1400-kg car moving at
115 km/h or a 12,000-kg truck moving at 38 km/h?

A radioactive particle weighing 7.20 x 103 ng is found 110 m above the earth’s surface. What is its potential energy?

Potential energy decreases in this example.

Correct, due to because there is an electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the nucleus.

The kinetic energy of the particles in the coffee and cup increase.

The potential energy of the spring decreases

 Kinetic energy is energy associated with the motion of an object; potential energy is energy associated with the position or composition of an object.   

Which of the following results in a general increase in potential energy?

For each of the following processes, does the potential
energy of the object(s) increase or decrease? 
(b) Water is pumped from ground level to the reservoir of a water tower 30 m above the ground.

Which has more kinetic energy, a 1400 kg car moving at 115 km/h or a 12,000 kg truck moving at 38 km/h?

Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

The accompanying photo shows a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar
climbing up a twig. (a) As the caterpillar climbs, its
potential energy is increasing. What source of energy has
been used to effect this change in potential energy?

Correct.  Kinetic energy is directly related to velocity.

Kinetic energy is the energy relative to position.

Kinetic energy is the energy available to do work.

All forms of energy can be used to do work.

Kinetic energy may be transformed into potential energy.

While this statement is correct, it does not define kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with temperature.

Thermal energy is the form of energy associated with temperature.

 Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity. 

Which of the following best defines kinetic energy?

Consider the two spheres shown here, one made of silver and
the other of aluminum. (d) If you release the
spheres simultaneously, they will have the same velocity
when they hit the ground. Will they have the same kinetic
energy? If not, which sphere will have more kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy

Suppose an Olympic diver who weighs 52.0 kg executes a 
straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive, 
the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water. (b) Assuming that all the 
potential energy of the diver is converted into kinetic energy 
at the surface of the water, at what speed, in m>s, will the 
diver enter the water?

Two positively charged particles are first brought close together
and then released. Once released, the repulsion between
particles causes them to move away from each other.
(b) Does the potential energy of
the two particles prior to release increase or decrease as the
distance between them is increased.

(a) Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules, of a 15-g bullet
moving at 120 m/s.

The kinetic energy of a gas molecule is connected to its mass in kilograms and velocity in meters per second.&nbsp;

A 100-kg man decides to add to his exercise routine by walking
up six flights of stairs (30 m) 10 times per day. He figures that
the work required to increase his potential energy in this way
will permit him to eat an extra order of French fries, at 245 Cal,
without adding to his weight. Is he correct in this assumption?

The potential energy of a gas molecule is connected to its mass, acceleration due to gravity and height above the ground.&nbsp;

(b) Why does increasing the temperature cause a solid substance to change in suc- cession from a solid to a liquid to a gas?

What is the difference between heat and temperature? Between work and energy? Between kinetic energy and potential energy?

An electron with a mass of 9.1 * 10-28 g is traveling at 1.8 * 107 m/s in an electron microscope. Calculate the kinetic energy of electron in units of joules, and report your answer in scientific notation. (LO 1.11) 
(a) 1.5 * 10-16 J 
(b) 1.6 * 10-20 J 
(c) 2.9 * 10-13 J
(d) 2.9 * 10-10 J

straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive,
the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water. (a) What
is the potential energy of the diver at the apex of the dive,
relative to the surface of the water?
