Kinetic and potential energy worksheets
Decide whether each object has kinetic or potential energy, then calculate KE = ½mv² and PE = mgh. There are 5 sheets here: kinetic or potential?, calculate KE and PE, vocabulary match, fill in the blanks and true or false. Pick one from the tray, print it, and add its answer key as a second page if you want one.
Worksheets
