Energy+Homework

 **Kinetic energy** is energy of motion. A rubber band flying through the air has kinetic energy. When you are walking or running your body is exhibiting kinetic energy. **Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy**. Before the yo-yo begins its fall it has stored energy due to its position. At the top it has its maximum potential energy. As it starts to fall the potential energy begins to be changed into kinetic energy. At the bottom its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy so that it now has its maximum kinetic energy. A waterfall has both potential and kinetic energy. The water at the top of Bridal Veil Falls has stored potential energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. This change in energy also happens at Niagara Falls where it is used to provide electricity from the transformation of mechanical and electromagnetic energy to parts of the northeastern United States.  list examples of kinetic energy. 1.A car in motion. 2.A bullet thats been fired. 3.A ball been thrown 4.A motor bike in motion. 5.A man walking. List five examples of Potential energy. 1.A person standing. 2.An eraser on a table. 3.A laptop on a desk. 4.A car parked on a driveway. 5.A glass on a table.
