II. What examples can you find in your home that are examples of kinetic and potential energy (name two for each type
of energy)?
11. Kinetic:
12. Kinetic:
13. Potential
14. Potential:

Answer:

11. A door accelerating when pushing it.

12. A person sliding along the floor.

13. Water dropping from the faucet.

14. Courtains descending when loosening them.

Explanation:

For kinetic energy, any example that does not move horizontally will do. Something accelerating or decelerating is a good example (Ek=1/2mv^2, where v is velocity).

For potential energy try to think of things moving vertically. Potential energy comes from the height of an object (Ep=mgh, where h is height).

Notice that example 13 and 14 represent potential energy turning into kinetic energy, height becomes lower, so velocity increases.
