Understanding Potential and Kinetic Energy in Roller Coasters and Pendulums

Explore the concepts of potential and kinetic energy through engaging illustrations of a roller coaster, a swing, and a juggling man. Learn where the highest potential energy and kinetic energy occurs in various scenarios, and understand the relationship between these energy types. The study will enhance your grasp of physics principles by demonstrating how energy transforms from potential to kinetic in real-world applications. Investigate energy points in a pendulum swing and calculate total energy at various points.

  1. 1/13/14 Draw the pendulum. Put a P at the point with the most potential energy? Put a K at the point with the most kinetic energy. Which picture illustrates kinetic energy?

  2. http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/roller-coaster3.htmhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/roller-coaster3.htm 1/14/14 At which point on the roller coaster above would a rider have the most potential energy? At which point would a rider have the most kinetic energy?

  3. Draw the boy on the swing. Put a P where the boy has the most potential energy and a K where he has the most kinetic. 1/15/14 Draw the man juggling and put a P next to the ball with the most potential energy and a K next to the ball(s) with the most kinetic energy.

  4. Draw the pendulum and put the letters P/K at the point where potential and kinetic energy are equal. 1/16/14 2. If the energy at point C is 12 joules, what is the total energy at point D?
