Question

label each scenario with the type of energy that it is experiencing most. you will not use all of the labels! organize it! book on a shelf stretched out rubber band bicycling down a ramp skier at the top of a hill a meteor entering the atmosphere a snowboarder coming down a mountain a flowing river pendulum at its highest point

Explanation:

• A book on a shelf has gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground.
• A stretched - out rubber band has elastic potential energy because it is deformed.
• Bicycling down a ramp involves kinetic energy as the bicycle is in motion.
• A skier at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy due to elevation.
• A meteor entering the atmosphere has kinetic energy from its high - speed motion.
• A snowboarder coming down a mountain has kinetic energy from moving downwards.
• A flowing river has kinetic energy as the water is in motion.
• A pendulum at its highest point has gravitational potential energy as it is at a height and momentarily at rest.

Answer:

• Book on a shelf: Gravitational Potential Energy
• Stretched out rubber band: Elastic Potential Energy
• Bicycling down a ramp: Kinetic Energy
• Skier at the top of a hill: Gravitational Potential Energy
• A meteor entering the atmosphere: Kinetic Energy
• A snowboarder coming down a mountain: Kinetic Energy
• A flowing river: Kinetic Energy
• Pendulum at its highest point: Gravitational Potential Energy
