Kinetic Energy Examples

Give one example for kinetic energy

• A moving car

• A stationary rock

• A parked bicycle

• A sleeping person

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

• KE = 0.5 * m * v^2

• KE = m + v^2

• KE = 0.5 * m * v

• KE = m * v^2

Explain the concept of kinetic energy with an everyday example

• A book sitting on a shelf has kinetic energy because it has the potential to fall

• A person sitting still has kinetic energy because they have the potential to walk

• A stationary rock possesses kinetic energy because it has the potential to move

• An everyday example of kinetic energy is a moving car. As the car moves, it possesses kinetic energy due to its motion.

How does the mass and velocity of an object affect its kinetic energy?

• The kinetic energy of an object increases with the square of its velocity and directly with its mass.

• The kinetic energy of an object increases with its velocity and inversely with its mass.

• The kinetic energy of an object is not affected by its mass or velocity.

• The kinetic energy of an object decreases with the square of its velocity and directly with its mass.

What are the units of measurement for kinetic energy?

• kilograms

• joules (J)

• meters

• watts
