Potential Energy Converted

to Kinetic Energy
• When stored energy begins to move,
the object now transfers from
potential energy into kinetic energy.
• An object has the MOST kinetic energy
when it’s movement is the
GREATEST.

• When an object has the LEAST


potential energy, it has the MOST
kinetic energy.
A water bottle is knocked off a
desk.
When does the bottle have the
MOST kinetic energy?
A. At the top of the fall.
B.In the middle of the
fall.
C.At the bottom of the
fall.
C. At the bottom of the fall.

• It has the most kinetic energy when its


movement and speed are greatest, which is at
the bottom of the fall right before it hits the
ground.

• When an object has the LEAST potential


energy is when it has the MOST kinetic
energy.
Roller Coasters
• When does the train
on this roller coaster
have the MOST
potential energy?

• AT THE VERY TOP!


• The HIGHER the train is
lifted by the motor, the
MORE potential energy is
produced.
• At the top of the hill the train
has a huge amount of
potential energy, but it has
very little kinetic energy.
• As the train accelerates down the
hill the potential energy is converted
into kinetic energy.

• There is very little


potential energy at
the bottom of the hill,
but there is a great
amount of kinetic
energy.
• When does the train
on this roller coaster
have the MOST
kinetic energy?
(When is it moving the fastest?)
(When does it have the LEAST
potential energy???)

• At the bottom of
the tallest hill!
• All energy is divided into two types: potential
and kinetic.
• Potential Energy: The energy stored in an
object.

• Kinetic Energy: The energy of a moving


object.

• Energy is never created or destroyed. It is


always stored or transferred.
Activity: KE- PE Transformation
A Roller Coaster Ride! On a roller coaster,
energy changes from potential to kinetic
energy and back again many times over the
course of a ride. Kinetic energy is energy that
an object has as a result of its motion.
Potential energy is the energy an object has as
a result of its position
