This worksheet contains 17 questions about kinetic and potential energy. The questions cover topics like the energy of an object thrown upwards or dropped from a height, the maximum kinetic and potential energy of an oscillating pendulum, how changing an object's mass or velocity affects its kinetic energy, calculating kinetic energy from mass and speed, and identifying the energy conversions and forces at work in situations involving falling and rolling objects. The document provides practice problems of varying difficulty levels on concepts relating to kinetic and potential energy.

Consider the falling and rolling motion of the ball in the following two resistance-free situations. In one situation, the ball falls off the top of the platform to the floor. In the other situation, the ball rolls from the top of the platform along the staircase-like pathway to the floor. For each situation, indicate what types of forces are doing work upon the ball. Indicate whether the energy of the ball is conserved and explain why. Finally, fill in the blanks for the 2-kg ball.
