Instructions: Answer all of the questions on a separate sheet of paper in order to prepare for your final exam.

CONCEPT QUESTIONS
Chapter 5 – Work and Energy

1. How is work related to force and displacement?

2. A car travels at a speed of 25 m/s on a flat stretch of road. The driver must maintain pressure on the accelerator to keep the car moving at this speed. What is the net work done on the car over a distance of 250 m?

3. What form of energy is stored in any stretched or compressed object?

4. State, in words, the work-kinetic energy theorem.

5. Describe the relationship between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy as a roller coaster completes a trip.

    Potential Energy In Marbles

    what is the best height that will give the marble the potential energy to hit the target cup. Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy of position and kinetic energy is the energy of motion. In order for the ramp to be successful, the ramp had to have the right amount of potential and kinetic energy. If you have too much potential energy than the marble would have too much kinetic energy and the marble would not land inside of the target cup, it will go right over the top of it. If you have too little potential energy then the marble will not have enough kinetic energy and the marble will not land inside of the target cup, it will hit the front of the cup The hypothesis for this investigation was that 200 centimeters would be the best height for the ramp to succeed and for the marble to land directly inside of the target cup. 200 centimeters is the best height for the marble to have enough potential energy to land inside of the target…

    2. explain that a change in gravitational potential energy is related to work done In order to a change in an object's gravitational potential energy in a gravitational field, work must be done to achieve this. I.e. To be able to move an object within a gravitational field, work must be exerted on the object in order to make it move. Work must be done in order to transform the energy of an object into a different entity so that is can move. In this case, from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.…

    Student Exploration Energy Conversion in a System Vocabulary energy, gravitational potential energy, heat energy, kinetic energy, law of conservation of energy, specific heat capacity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) A battery contains stored energy in the form of chemical energy. What are some examples of devices that are powered by batteries ___________________ _________________________________________________________________________ What different forms of energy are demonstrated by these devices ___________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Gizmo Warm-up Energy constantly changes from one form to another, but in a closed system, the total amount of energy always remains the same. This concept is known formally as the law of conservation of energy. The Energy Conversion in a System Gizmo allows you to observe the law of conservation of energy in action. In the Gizmo, a suspended cylinder has gravitational potential energy. When the cylinder is released, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which causes the stirrer in the water to spin.

Introduction The raised cylinder in the Gizmo has gravitational potential energy (GPE) because gravity can cause the cylinder to drop. When the cylinder drops, its kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, which raises the temperature of the water.Question How…

Use the terms KE of GPE as your answers. A. When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only gravitational potential energy. B. If the ball is dropped, its gravitational potential energy decreases as it falls. C. If the ball is dropped, its kinetic energy increases as it falls. D. In fact, in the absence of air resistance, the amount of gravitational potential energy when the ball is held motionless above the floor equals the amount of kinetic energy at impact with the floor.…
