Grade 8 · Kinetic and Potential Energy
Grade 8 energy worksheet: use KE = ½mv² to complete a data table and see the effect of doubling mass or speed, plot kinetic energy against speed, calculate gravitational potential energy with GPE = mgh, follow energy changes on a roller coaster, and account for energy transferred when a ball bounces.
