Potential Energy is energy of position. An object gets potential energy from height, mass and gravity. An object with potential energy has the potential to do work. This potential is only released when the object falls. Kinetic Energy is energy of motion. An object gets kinetic energy from its mass and velocity.
Classify the following as a type of potential energy or kinetic energy (use the letters K or P) 1. A bicyclist pedaling up a hill. _____. 3. A volleyball player spiking a ball. _____. 2. An archer with his bow drawn.

Which letter shows the ball when it has the maximum potential energy? _____ 3. Which letter shows the ball when it has the least potential energy? _____ 4.
KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY WORKSHEET. Potential energy: PE = mgh Kinetic energy: KE = 1/2 m v2 Total mechanical energy: ME = PE + KE. Practice problems: 1. A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 12 Kg. The carriage has ____________ energy. Calculate it.
Potential and Kinetic Energy. Potential energy is stored energy. The formula for the potential energy of an object is: Ep = mgh. where m equals mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h equals the height of the object. The mass.
