SKATEBOARDS

  • Skateboards allow you to convert potential to kinetic energy quickly
  • Skateboards are fun
  • Longboards help to make large turns

POTENTIAL ENERGY

  • When I climb a hill I am increasing my kinetic energy
  • My potential energy is calculated by multiplying weight times height.
  • My weight is 100kg.
  • The height of the hill is 15m.
  • My potential energy at the top of the hill is 1500 Joules

KINETIC ENERGY

  • Potential energy is changed into kinetic energy
  • The steeper the hill the quicker that energy is changed.
  • Gravity is what is changing the potential into kinetic.
