Give the main types of energy that are involved in the following energy
transformations. (Also indicate whether each type of energy is kinetic or potential
with KE or PE)
Think about the primary types of energy used or present. Some examples have been
done for you.
Situation Original Type of Energy New Type of Energy
throwing a ball Chemical (PE) to Mechanical (KE)
flashlight Electrical (KE) to Radiant (KE)
sky diver falling Mechanical (PE) to Mechanical (KE)

creating heat
15. light bulb turning on Radiant (KE)

16. a car using gas to move

17. a lit sparkler

18. photosynthesis in a plant

19. a battery powered toy

Solve the following problems. Work MUST be shown for credit.

26. Calculate the gravitational potential energy (GPE) of a 6.12 g bullet traveling
horizontally 5.50 m above the ground at 52.0 m/s. (Be sure to convert. 1000 g = 1 kg)
(3 SDs)
27. What is the kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg toy car traveling on a track at a speed of
12.2 m/s? (2 SDs)

28. What is the gravitational potential energy (GPE) of a skydiver with a mass of 60.0 kg
that is 200.0 m above the earth? (3 SDs)

29. How high has a 7.26 kg shot put been thrown if it has a gravitational potential energy
of 240.2 J? (3 SDs)

30. The Space Shuttle Discovery weighed 98,310 kg at an altitude of about 347 km when
it was docked with the International Space Station. What was its gravitational potential
energy (GPE) with respect to the earth’s surface? Assume for this problem only that the
earth’s gravity is the same at the altitude of the space station as it is at the earth’s surface.
(Be sure to convert kilometers to meters. 1000 m = 1 km) (3 SDs)

31. What is the kinetic energy of a 1016 kg dragster traveling at its top speed of 134 m/s?
(3 SDs)
