Potential and Kinetic Energy
Fill in the blanks and label the di erent parts of the diagram below:
Potential energy is the s_ _ _ _ _ energy an object has because of its p_ _ _ _ _ _ _or state.
Kinetic energy is the energy of m_ _ _ _ _. When potential energy is used it is con_ _ _ _ _ _ into kinetic energy.
You can think of potential energy as kinetic energy waiting to h _ _ _ _ _.
The standard unit for measuring potential energy is the j_ _ _ _, which is abbreviated as "J."
Label the diagram below, explaining how energy works in order to propel the ball upwards and forwards. Bonus - add
addition labels linked to which forces are in action at the end of the ball trajectory.

Potential and Kinetic Energy
Fill in the blanks and label the di erent parts of the diagram below:
Potential energy is the stored energy an object has because of its position or state.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When potential energy is used it is converted into kinetic energy.
You can think of potential energy as kinetic energy waiting to happen.
The standard unit for measuring potential energy is the joule, which is abbreviated as "J."

1. Which energy is being
stored at the bottom of the
ruler bend? Potential
3. The ruler transfers the energy to the ball which
then travels upwards and forwards
4. The ball slows down and
starts to be pulled down to
the floor due to
gravitational force. The
ball may bounce when it
touches the floor due to
normal force (push)
