Identify potential energy
Free printable Physics science worksheet for "Identify potential energy" — practice energy and momentum. No-prep, print or assign online.
High school students identify and analyze potential energy in this Physical Science worksheet, examining stored energy in gravitational, elastic, and chemical systems and distinguishing it from kinetic energy. Teachers can use it after introducing the forms of mechanical energy to help students apply definitions and recognize potential energy in real-world scenarios. It fits within the Energy and Momentum substrand and supports quantitative and conceptual problem-solving.
Learning objectives
- Define potential energy and identify the conditions under which it is stored
- Distinguish between gravitational, elastic, and chemical potential energy
- Identify potential energy in real-world examples and explain what happens when it converts to kinetic energy
