PRAYER BEFORE THE CLASS STARTS

Dear Lord and Father of all, thank you for today. Thank you
for ways in which you provide us all. For your protection and
love we thank you. Help us to focus our hearts and minds now
what we are about to learn. Inspire us with your Holy spirit
now as we listen and write. Guide as by your eternal light as
we discover more about the world around us. We ask all this
in the name Jesus.
AMEN.

WEEK 3:
FACTORS AFFECTING POTENTIAL
AND KINETIC ENERGY
Prepared by: Frances Anne B. Blancaflor, LPT
 ENERGY

•It is the ability

to do work.
 ENERGY

It is NEVER CREATED nor

DESTROYED.

It can only be STORED or

TRANSFERRED.
 How is all energy
divided?

POTENTIAL KINETIC
ENERGY ENERGY
Hint: The molecules move faster as the temperature increases.
POTENTIAL ENERGY

The energy “stored” in an object.

It is present when the work is waiting to
be done, or when there is the potential for
work to be performed.
POTENTIAL ENERGY
POTENTIAL ENERGY

It is affected by the mass of the objects and

gravitational force.

The HIGHER the The GREATER the

object, the GREATER MASS, the MORE
potential energy. potential energy it has.
POTENTIAL ENERGY

It is affected by the mass, height and gravity.

POTENTIAL ENERGY
POTENTIAL ENERGY
What do you think will happen to the potential
energy stored in the ball after the boy released
it?
When stored energy begins to move, the object
now transfers from potential energy into kinetic
energy.
KINETIC ENERGY

The energy of a moving object.

 The word “kinetic” in English comes
from the Greek word kinetikos (moving).
KINETIC ENERGY

The greater the mass and speed of object, the more kinetic
energy there will be.
KINETIC ENERGY

It is affected by mass and velocity of an object.

b. A bike parked at the top of a hill
c. A ball thrown across the yard

A baseball held by a pitcher has
_____________energy.

a. Potential energy
b. Kinetic energy
 The faster an object moves, the
________ kinetic energy it has. 

a. more
b. less
c. none of the above
Energy due to motion is ____________
energy. 

a. Potential 
b. Kinetic
Energy can not be created or
destroyed, only converted from one
form to another. 

a. True
b. False
 Getting the value of Kinetic and Potential energy

KINETIC ENERGY POTENTIAL ENERGY

KE=1/2mv² PE= mgh or N x h

m= kg m= kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
v= m/s h= m
KE= J = kg m²/s² N= kg.m/s²
 Although mass and velocity both have great effects
on kinetic energy, it is velocity, more significantly,
that determines kinetic energy. Study at the sample
problem below.

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 45

kg object moving at 13 m/sec?
1. What is the kinetic energy of a 45
kg object moving at 13 m/sec?

MASS= 45 kg VELOCITY= 13 m/s

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 45 kg object
moving at 13 m/sec?
MASS= 45 kg VELOCITY= 13 m/s

KE=1/2 mv²
KE=1/2 (45kg)(13 m/s)²
The kinetic energy value computed is 3802.5 J.
2. If a 2.0 kg ball is thrown with a
velocity of 6 m/s, what is its KE?
MASS= 2.0 kg VELOCITY= 6 m/s
KE=1/2 mv²
KE=1/2 (2.0 kg)(6 m/s)²
The kinetic energy value computed is 36 J.
3. What is the potential energy of 0.3 kg
ball lifted to a height of 5.0 m above the
ground?
MASS= 0.3 kg HEIGHT= 5.0 m
g= 9.8 m/s²
PE=mgh
PE= (0.3 kg)(9.8m/s²)(5.0m)
The potential energy value computed is 14.7 J.
4.  An object weighs 49N is taken from
the ground to the height of 100m. Find
the potential energy of the object.?
Weight= 49 N HEIGHT= 100 m
PE=mgh
PE= (49N)(5.0m)
The potential energy value computed is 4,900 J.
4.  A 1.5 kg book on a top of a shelf has a
PE of 29.4 J. How high is the shelf?
PE= 24.9 J MASS= 1.5 kg
HEIGHT= ?
PE=mgh H=PE
mg
PE=mgh
H= 24.9 J/ kg.m²/s²
