L5 Homework

The document contains a graph showing the kinetic and potential energy of a rolling ball labeled from A to G. It then provides 14 multiple choice questions about identifying the ball's location based on its kinetic or potential energy at different points in its path. Additionally, there are examples calculating kinetic and potential energy using the appropriate formulas for different objects and situations.

ENERGY CALCULATIONS WORKSHEET

Determine whether the objects in the following problems have kinetic, mechanicanl, or
potential energy. Remember, kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is
stored energy due to an object’s shape or position. Then, choose the correct formula to use:
Kinetic Energy = ½ x mass x velocity2
Potential Energy = Weight x Height
