Question 1

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

  • KE = mv
  • KE = 1/2 mvΒ²
  • KE = mgh

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for the term with velocity squared.

Question 2

True or False: Potential energy increases with an object’s height.

  • True
  • False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a 4 kg book is placed on a shelf 1.5 meters high, calculate its gravitational potential energy. If it falls off the shelf, how much kinetic energy will it have just before hitting the ground?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the GPE formula first, then consider energy transformation.

Question 2

A bicycle and rider have a combined mass of 80 kg and are moving at 15 m/s. Calculate their kinetic energy. If they suddenly stop due to friction (assuming all energy goes to heat), what will be the kinetic energy just before stopping?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the kinetic energy formula and think about the energy transformation involved in stopping.
