Study Guide Speed, Kinetic, and Potential energy Answer all of the following questions completely. There may be 2 or more parts to a question. Please answer each one fully for full credit. /24 1. What is the definition of speed? 2. Please find the speed of the following objects: A car traveled 30 miles in 30 minutes peed: S A cheetah ran 450 meters in 14 seconds Speed: A rabbit ran 100 meters in 12 seconds Speed: A human ran 1 mile in.1 hrs Speed: A marble rolled 100 cm in 1.13 seconds Speed: . What 5 features of a typical car make it more safe to drive or possibly more safe in a 3 crash?Provide a brief explanation for each of how it improves safety. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. . During the speed lab you found the average speed for 3 trials. What mathematical 4 process did you use to do this? 5. Find the average speed for a marble that traveled 200 cm in: rial 1 - 1.5 seconds T Trial 2 - 2.1 seconds Trial 3 - 1.8 seconds Trial 4 - 1.9 seconds 6. Identify the following speed graphs: A person drove at a constant speed, then got caught in slow moving traffic: ________ A person drove a little ways toward work, but got stopped at a stoplight. Thinking they forgot their phone, they turned around, but found it and proceeded on their way to work: _________ A person immediately got caught in traffic, then the traffic ended and they were able to speed up. ________ A person started driving toward work, but felt sick so they stopped for a few minutes. They decided to call in sick and returned home: ________ Graph A Graph B Graph C Graph D . Create a motion graph to show the following trip: Gavin drove the first 3 miles toward 7 work in 6 minutes before realizing he drove past the building he works at! He sat at a stoplight for 2 minutes, then made a U-turn. It took him 4 minutes to drive the 1 mile back toward work. 8. Using complete sentences, describe how potential and kinetic energy are related. . In the following picture, label the different phases of the roller coaster’s energy using 9 the terms listed below. Greatest Kinetic Energy, Least Potential Energy Equal Kinetic and Potential Energy Least Kinetic Energy, Greatest Potential energy 10. What are the six types of potential energy? ype: _________________________ T Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ 11. Choose 2 of the above types of potential energy and give an example of each. ype: _________________________ T xample: __________________________ E Type: _________________________ Example: __________________________ 12. What are the 5 types of kinetic energy? ype: _________________________ T Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ Type: _________________________ 13. Choose 2 of the above types of kinetic energy and give an example for each. ype: _________________________ T xample: __________________________ E Type: _________________________ Example: __________________________ 14. Identify the types of potential and kinetic energy in this example: cross country runner eats a good breakfast and lunch, knowing they will have a long A run later that day. After school, the runner navigates 5 miles of trails, including one long 1-mile climb that was very difficult. The downhill afterward was much easier.
