Name:
HIP Work and Energy Study Guide 2023
Define each of the following terms:
1. Potential energy: stored energy due to an object's positio

View

Page 2: Energy Relationships and Problem-Solving

This page explores relationships between different energy forms and introduces practical problem-solving techniques.

Example: A glider problem demonstrates the application of work-energy equations, calculating initial kinetic and potential energies at different heights.

Highlight: Work done increases with distance when the same force is applied.

The page includes detailed calculations showing:

Change in potential energy equation (ΔPE = mgΔh)
Initial kinetic energy calculations for a glider
Conservation of mechanical energy principles

View

Page 3: Advanced Problem-Solving Applications

This page continues with complex energy calculations and practical applications.

Example: A detailed analysis of a baseball caught in a catcher's mitt demonstrates work-energy principles and force calculations.

The content includes step-by-step solutions for:

Final potential energy calculations
Work done by external forces
Initial velocity determinations using energy equations

View

Page 4: Energy Transformations and Power

This page focuses on real-world energy transformations and power calculations.

Example: A bungee jumping scenario illustrates various energy transformations, including gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and elastic potential energy.

Highlight: Power calculations are demonstrated through an elevator problem, showing the relationship between work, force, and time.

View

Page 5: MCAS Practice Questions

This page provides exam practice through multiple-choice questions focusing on energy concepts.

Example: A skateboarding scenario tests understanding of kinetic and potential energy relationships at different positions.

Highlight: The weightlifting competition question emphasizes the relationship between power, work, and time.

View

Page 6: Additional Practice

This page begins with an archery problem, demonstrating practical applications of energy concepts.

Highlight: The archery scenario connects to earlier concepts of potential and kinetic energy transformations.

View

Page 1: Core Energy Concepts and Units

This page introduces fundamental energy concepts and their corresponding units. The content focuses on establishing a strong foundation in work and energy principles.

Definition: Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position, while kinetic energy represents energy of motion.

Highlight: The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between objects.

Vocabulary: Mechanical energy represents the total energy in a system, combining both potential and kinetic energy.

The page carefully outlines essential units:

Joules (J) for energy measurements
Watts (W) for power
Newtons (N) for force
Kilograms (kg) for mass
Meters per second (m/s) for velocity
