Energy Transfer Model


The front of each model packet should serve as a storehouse for things youll want to be able to quickly look up later. We will usually try to give you some direction on a useful way to organize this space (see the table below).

Practice 1: Energy Pie Charts


INSTRUCTIONS: Use pie charts to analyze the energy changes in each situation given. Designate your choice of system by explicitly listing the objects included. Divide the pies in a qualitatively accurate fashion, and label them with the energy storage mechanism involved. 1. ! A ball is held above the ground, and then is dropped so it falls straight down. (Restrict your analysis to the ball moving in the air, BEFORE it hits the ground.)
