    Factors Affecting Potential and Kinetic Energy - 012431

    Uploaded by

    kathlene Mae Trinidad
    Potential energy and kinetic energy can be affected by several factors: 1. Potential energy is directly proportional to mass and height - the greater the mass or height, the greater the potential energy. 2. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass and the square of speed - the greater the mass or speed, the greater the kinetic energy. Doubling the speed quadruples the kinetic energy. 3. At rest, an object has zero kinetic energy but may have potential energy due to its height or mass. As an object's motion increases, its kinetic energy increases as well.

    Hello Guys, do you know
    Dora?
    She is waiting for you. She is
    looking for Boots! When she
    looks up, she saw three Boots
    hanging on the tree.Who is the
    real Boots?Dora needs your
    help, buddy.Boots leave a letter
    with a clue on it. Horray!
    Look Closely
    Dear Dora,
    I know you will find me, Although the
    three of us really look identical. I am
    the one who possess the greatest
    amount of Potential energy! The one
    reading this letter will help you, Dora,
    please ask him before its too late.

    Love,
    The real Boots
    Situation 1
    • In situation 1, Pogs, Jordan, and Ivo with different masses
    have the same distance from the ground.

    • Given their potential energy, Ivo being the most massive


    among the three boys, also has the greatest potential energy
    among others. With this, we can conclude that the greater the
    mass of an object, the greater its potential energy.
    • Thus, mass (m) is a factor that can affect the amount of potential
    energy a body possessed.

    • As the mass of an object is changed, the potential energy of that


    object is also changed.

    • If you doubled or tripled the mass, the potential energy will also
    be doubled or tripled at a constant height or distance from the
    ground.
    Situation 2
    • Given the four (4) identical boxes, meaning they all have the
    same mass. We can say that mass (m) and acceleration due to
    gravity (g) here is constant.

    • As the box has been elevated to a much higher position, its


    gravitational potential energy becomes higher.
    • the height (h) or distance of the object from the ground is a
    factor that affects gravitational potential energy (PE).
    • Gravitational Potential Energy is energy stored in an
    object as the result of its height or vertical position

    • Gravitational Potential Energy (PEgrav) on Earth is


    directly proportional to the mass (m) and the height (h) of
    an object.
    Situation 3
    • Kinetic energy, as we know, is energy possessed by a moving
    object. Hence, an object at rest has zero kinetic energy

    • the greater the mass of an object, the greater its kinetic energy
    • the greater the mass of an object, the greater its kinetic
    energy

    • At constant speed, the amount of KE a body possessed


    is directly proportional to its mass
    Situation 4
    • The last part of the activity investigated how speed (v) greatly
    affects an object’s kinetic energy. The computed table of Ivo’s
    kinetic energy shows that a small increase in his speed greatly
    affects his Kinetic energy ( K. E)
    • At constant mass of an object, as you increase the speed twice
    as fast as the original speed, its KE will increase four times
    than the first value.

    • Kinetic Energy (KE) is not only directly related to speed but


    to the square of the speed of an object
    • Kinetic Energy (KE) is directly proportional to the mass (m)
    and square of the speed of an object
    Joule(s) is the SI unit of kinetic energy and potential
    energy in honor of the physicist, JAMES PRESCOTT
    JOULE.
    In fact, all energy has the same unit, which is kg m2/s2.
    And 1 kg m2/s2 is equivalent to 1 Joule (J).
    You did great!
    SEE YOU NEXT MEETING
