Energy Problems
Energy Problems
following problems.
KINETIC ENERGY
1. Nathaniel’s car has a mass of 550
kg and it is moving on a road with a
velocity of 15 m/s. What is the kinetic
energy of the car?
2. Compute for the kinetic energy of
a Alberto’s toy car if its mass 12 kg
and its velocity 25 m/s.
POTENTIAL ENERGY
1. What is the potential energy of the
box if its mass is 8 kg and the distance
from the ground is 9 m.
2. Nica’s book is placed on top of the
shelf, its height is measured 7m while
its mass is 0.5 kg. What is the potential
energy of the book?
DIRECTIONS: Solve and analyze the
following problems. (Yellow Paper,

1. Harold is driving his Ferrari with a
speed of 75 m/s, its mass is 2500 kg
meanwhile Kurt is using his
Lamborghini, it is calculated that its
mass is 2200 kg, it can ran up to 55
m/s. Who has a greater kinetic
energy?
2. Daniell lifted a crate with a mass
of 48 kg and put it in a table with a
height of 6m above the ground
while Patrick also lifted a crate with
a mass of 52 kg and put in a table
with the distance of 4m, who
exerted a greater potential
energy?
