A NYE Review

This video will help us review what we have learn so far about KE and PE. 

Complete hand out while watching the video. 

Investigate

If you were to conduct an investigation to explain kinetic and potential energy what would you use? 

Video Review

THE LAW

What happens to energy when it is used up? 

Dropping the Ball

Zach and Davin get up on a roof to test the potential energy of a bowling ball. Dropping the ball off the roof at a height of 100 feet. The bowling ball weighs 3kg. What is the potential energy of the bowling ball? Is it possible for you to calculate the kinetic energy of the ball when it falls?

Shape of Energy

What is the type of potential energy that is due to the shape of an object?

Energy Types

Name at least three different types of energy. 

Unit of Energy

What is a unit of energy called? 

Why does it have that name? 

What does this mean?

When you exert a force on an object that cause the object to move in the direction of the force. 

Potential and Kinetic Energy Matrix

Today please go to google classroom. You will find on google classroom assessment a new matrix for energy.  Complete the work for the matrix on google classroom practice and record your progress on your matrix.  
Do you find the matrix helpful to keep track of your work? Yes, No or Why?

Two types of Energy

What are the two types of Energy? Give and example of each type. 

physics words

There are words in physics may have a different meaning in everyday language. 

Share the physics meanings of the words work and energy. 

Dolphins

A dolphin can leap several meters above the ocean's surface. Why doesn't gravity stop the dolphin from leaving the water? 

Warning the following video barely relates to the above question.
