SAMPLE PROBLEM:

 Given:

 Unknown:

 Formula:
  Given: 2000kg – m, 30 m/s - v
 Given: 80kg – m, 4 m/s - v
 Unknown:
 Unknown:
 Formula:
 Formula:

2000kg X (30m/s)2

2000kg X 900

18000000

KE = 900,000J
1. You serve a volleyball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball
leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball has
______________________ energy. Calculate it.
2. A car is traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s and has a
mass of 1120 kg. The car has ___________energy.
3. Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a
mass of 2 kilograms, and was lifted at a speed of
2 m/sec. The other had a mass of 4 kilograms and was
lifted at a rate of 3 m/sec. Which object had more
kinetic energy while it was being lifted?
What is the KE possessed by a body
with a mass of 16 kg projected
vertically upward with a speed of
15m/s?
SAMPLE PROBLEM:

 Given
 60kg – m
 3m – h
 9.8 m/s – g
 ? = PE
 PE = mgh

PE = 60kg X 9.8m/s X 3m

PE = 588kgm/s X 3m

PE = 1764J
  Given
 Given
 3kg – m
 10kg – m
 0.5m – h
 30m – h
 9.8 m/s – g
 9.8 m/s – g
 ? = PE
 ? = PE
 PE = mgh
 PE = mgh

PE = 10kg X 9.8m/s X 30m PE = 3kg X 9.8m/s X 0.5m

PE = 98kgm/s X 30m PE = 29.4kgm/s X 0.5m

PE = 2940J PE = 14.7J
