Lesson: Potential and Kinetic Energy Part 2

Prepared by: Angelica C. Camilon

 Differentiate between potential and kinetic energy.

 Solve mathematical problems using the formula for kinetic energy.
 Develop the emotional resiliency among students.
 Understand that energy can change from one form into another.
 Understand that energy can be described by equations.

 Greetings
 Prayer
 Online Classroom Etiquette

Title of Activity: Simon Says!

The teacher will be giving sets of command that the students must follow.
The commands are listed below:

Simon say,
1. Clap hands
2. Inhale-exhale
3. Blink eyes (3 times)
4. Jump (3 times)
5. Stay still
6. Shake your hands
7. Stomp your left foot (3 times)
8. Turn around
9. Move your hips
10. Sit
 The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its
motion.
 The word kinetic comes from the Greek word kinetikos, which means
moving.
 Examples of kinetic energy are as follows:
 A truck travelling down the road
 A river flowing
 An asteroid falling towards earth is very large.
 Kinetic Energy can also be represented mathematically:
KE = ½mv²
 Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to
the square of its velocity: KE = 1/2mv².
 If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per
second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per
second squared.
 Remember that doubling the mass in the formula would double the
Kinetic Energy.
 Doubling the speed would quadruple the Kinetic Energy, since Kinetic
Energy is proportional to the square of an object’s speed.
Group activity: Charades
Number of Groups: 2
Span of the Actual Activity: Three (3) minutes for each group

The students will be grouped into two. Before the students are put into their respective
breakout rooms, the teacher will tell first that the students must list down five (5) examples
of actions which exemplifies potential energy in the span of 2 minutes (individual task).

After 2 minutes, the students will now be put into their respective breakout rooms and
brainstorm ideas as to which of their examples will be used in the charades. They must
come up with 10 examples.

Group 1 will perform the charades first while Group 2 will be the one to guess. After Group
1’s turn, Group 2 will now be the one to perform the charades and let Group 1 guess the
actions. The group who that has the greatest number of guess will be declared as winner.

The occurrence of the pandemic has put a lot of human activities into a
halt. Many plans if not being cancelled, were put into a total stop. Flights inside or
outside the country is are no longer allowed, going to malls are also prohibited.
Jobs and swimming activities during the summer were also paused and many of
us are left with no choice but to stay at home.

It is one of the hard things in life: accepting that life

sometimes doesn’t go as planned. In this kind of situation,
how do you respond or react when things did not go out the
way you planned them to be?
How does the situation keep you going? On what side
did you move in?
During these trying times, responding negatively on the
situation will never help. But if you change the game, things
would probably turn out better. Let us trust God’s plans. Have
faith that things will work out for good. Turn your fears into
power, action and patience. In time everything will be all right,
because life is filled with unexpected surprises.
(This assessment will be given after the discussion of Kinetic Energy)

Directions: Tell whether the given examples are showing a Potential or Kinetic
Energy. Write PE for Potential Energy and KE for Kinetic Energy.

_KE 1. Flowing river

_PE 2. A parked car
_PE 3. A baby sleeping soundly
_KE 4. A bouncing ball
_PE 5. Orange fruit hanging from a tree

For items 6-15: Solve the following word problem using the GRESA method.

Problem No. 1 (5 Points)

A mango fruit hangs from a tree. The fruit is a 0.25kg and is about to fall to the ground. If
the fruit is 13 meters from the ground, how much potential energy does it possess?

Given:
mass = 0.25kg
h = 13m
g = 9.8m/s2

Required: PE?
Equation: PE = mgh
Solution:
PE = (0.25kg)(9.8m/s2)(13m)
PE = 31.85J

Answer: 31. 85J
