This document discusses factors that affect potential and kinetic energy. It defines kinetic energy as the energy of moving objects, which can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2mv^2, where m is mass and v is velocity. Potential energy is defined as stored energy due to an object's position or state, which depends on mass, gravitational force, and height or position. Potential energy is calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is height. Several examples are provided to demonstrate calculating kinetic and potential energy.

1. Factors Affecting Potential
and Kinetic Energy

CECILIA B. SARITA

2. Energy
•the ability to do work
•Strength and vitality required for
sustained physical activity

3. KINETIC ENERGY
•The word “kinetic” in English comes from
the Greek word kinetikos (moving)
•When work is being done
•Energy in motion

4. KINETIC ENERGY
•For moving objects, you can calculate
kinetic energy using the formula:
KE = (mass x velocity2)/2
or KE = 1/2 mv2

5. POTENTIAL ENERGY
•present when the work is waiting to be done,
or when there is the potential for work to be
performed.
•It is affected by the mass of the objects and
gravitational force
•The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2

6. POTENTIAL ENERGY
•an object with greater mass has greater
potential energy, with respect to it position
•an object of the same mass that is placed at
different position have different potential
energy contained
•The object at a higher position will have a
greater potential energy

7. POTENTIAL ENERGY
P.E. = mass x acceleration due to gravity x
height
P.E. = mgh= N x h acceleration due to gravity
= 9.8 m/s2 or 10m/s2
1 Newton (N) = 1 kg x 1 m/s2 or 1 kg m/s2

13. Guide Questions:
1. Which picture shows potential energy?
2. Which picture shows kinetic energy?
3. What factor (s) affect the potential
energy?
4. What factor (s) affect kinetic energy?

14. What is the kinetic energy of a 45 kg object
moving at 13 m/sec?
•First we identify the information we are given in the
problem: mass = 45 kg, velocity = 13 m/sec
•Next, we place this information into the kinetic
energy formula: KE = 1/2 mv2
KE = 1/2 (45 kg)(13 m/sec)2
The kinetic energy value computed is 3802.5 J.
Note: The unit for energy is the same as for work: the
Joule (J).
