Activity 1

Transparency Master 		The graph shows the amount of kinetic energy (in joules) that a 60kg person would have if they were moving at speeds up to 10m/s.
  1. How much kinetic energy would a 60kg person have when running at 6m/s?

  2. How much kinetic energy would a 60kg person have when jogging at 2m/s?

  3. How fast would a 60kg person need to run to have 500J of kinetic energy?

  4. How fast would a 60kg person need to run to have twice the kinetic energy as the person in the question above?

  5. A small waterfall has a flow rate of 60kg (of water) per second. The speed of the water at the bottom of the falls is 8m/s. How much energy (per second) could be extracted from this waterfall.

YES I Can! Science
