Potential & Kinetic Energy
What have you done
today?
Energy
• Energy- the ability to do work• You have to have energy to do
everything you do!• The more energy you have, the
more you can do.• Moving objects have energy
(duh) and still objects have energy!
What does “potential”
mean?
Potential Energy
• Potential energy- the energy stored in an object (still objects)• Have you seen any objects
today that were storing energy?
Examples of Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy
• Kinetic energy- the energy of a moving object• Have you seen any
objects in motion today?
Examples of Kinetic Energy
Changing Energy• Sometimes the type of
energy in an object can swap back and forth.• Think of a roller coaster!
Examples of Changing Energy
Rubber BandPotential Energy
• A rubber band that is stretched has potential energy.
Kinetic Energy
• When the rubber band is let go and flies through the air, it has kinetic energy.
CandlePotential Energy
• An unlit candle sitting on a table has potential energy.
Kinetic Energy
• When the candle is lit and burning, it has kinetic energy.
