1. How do we find total mechanical energy?
2. A 3 kg soccer ball is travelling at 15 m/s
when it is 9 m above the ground.
A. What is its kinetic energy?
B. What is its potential energy?
3. What does the law of conservation of
energy state?

Total Mechanical Energy GraphsPotential energy is plotted with the total mechanical energy on the graph below. What does the graph of kinetic energy look like?

Example
A 40-kg skydiver has a speed of 25 m/s when he is 300 m above the ground. What types of energy does he have? Calculate the values for both types of
energy. Calculate total mechanical energy.
Student-Guided Example
A 2 kg soccer ball has a speed of 15 m/s when it is 10 m above the ground. What types of energy does it have? Calculate the values for both types of
energy. Calculate total mechanical energy.
Think-Pair-Share
A 0.5 kg paper airplane has a speed of 4 m/s when it is 3 m above the ground. What types of energy does it have? Calculate the values for both types of
energy. Calculate total mechanical energy.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can only be transferred from one form to another but the total amount never changes!
Law of Conservation of Energy
Law of Conservation of Energy
The sum of KE and PE remains constant. One type of energy changes into another type.
For the falling book, the PE of the book changed into KE as it fell.
As a ball rolls up a hill, KE is changed into PE.
PEI + KEI = PEF + KEF
Kinetic and potential energy convert to one another
KE max KE max
no PE no PE
PE maxno KE

Example
A 4 kg crate is dropped from the top of a 20 m tall ledge and falls to the ground. What was its initial potential energy? What was its initial kinetic energy? What was its final potential energy? What was its final kinetic energy?
Student-Guided Example
A 7 kg crate is dropped from the top of a 40 m tall ledge and falls to the ground. What is its initial potential energy? What is its initial kinetic energy? What is its final potential energy? What is its final kinetic energy? What is its final speed?
Think-Pair-Share
A 40 kg skydiver drops from an airplane, which is 1500 m high in the air. What is the kinetic energy of the skydiver when he gets to the ground? Find the initial potential energy. Find the initial kinetic energy. Find the final potential energy. Find the final kinetic energy. Find the final speed of the diver.
Tag Team 1
A 3 kg bowling ball is dropped from a building that is 10 m tall. How fast is the ball going right before it hits the ground? Partner 1: Find the initial potential energy
and the final kinetic energy. Partner 2: Find the final speed. Partner 3: Check their work

Independent Practice Problems 1. A 1 kg plate was at rest on a tabletop
1.5 m above the ground before falling to the ground. What was its speed right before it hits the ground?
2. A 0.5 kg rock is dropped from a cliff 70 meters high. What is its speed right before it hits the ground?
3. A 0.25 kg apple falls from a tree that is 16 m tall. What is the speed of the apple right before it hits the ground?
