| Describe how the Energy Bar and Pie Charts relate to position and speed | For example, a person playing pool can hit a cue ball and its kinetic energy then hits another ball and puts it in motion |
|---|---|
| The chemical energy from the plants, when consumed by animals, allows the animals to run away from a predator—also a form of kinetic energy | Explain how changing the Track Friction affects energy |
If at the bottom of the waterfall, the water stopped moving and pooled, its energy would again be converted to potential energy.
13| They also generate kinetic energy when they run away from predators | Embed a running copy of this simulation Use this HTML to embed a running copy of this simulation |
|---|---|
| Kinetic energy can also be passed along from one object to another | For instance, water flowing down a waterfall has kinetic energy |
Animals consume the chemical energy and give off molecules that carry their scent through the air.
19| Explain how changing the Skater Mass affects energy | You can change the width and height of the embedded simulation by changing the "width" and "height" attributes in the HTML |
|---|---|
| In biological systems, kinetic energy takes on various forms as objects move in different ways |
Entire systems can also possess kinetic energy—the movement of all the planets and stars in our solar system is kinetic energy.
