This module is created with activities that will help you understand and appreciate
the different applications of Momentum and Impulse to real-life situations. In this
module, your knowledge, skills, and values will be developed.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. differentiate kinetic and potential energy;
2. analyze the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy and vice versa to given
situations; and
3. realize the importance of energy conversions in real-life situations.
PRETEST
Directions: Read each question carefully and choose the letter of the best answer.
Write the letter of your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
4. The following pictures show the transformations of kinetic and potential energy
EXCEPT
A B C D
5. In what situation is a balanced potential and kinetic energy of our life
shown?
A. Do not sleep until the work is done.
B. No clear boundaries between our work and home.
C. Have a break after a long hour of work to regain our energy.
D. Rest all day without working to make ourselves free from stress.
RECAP
You have learned in Module 2 the free-falling body and how its velocity is affected
by the pull of gravity and in Module 9, you have learned that the force of impact of
moving bodies could be decreased by changing its momentum and the contact
time.
LESSON
The above examples show that PE energy was doubled when the altitude is
doubled. This is also true when you double the mass of the object.
But what happens to the potential energy of the rock when it falls off the
container? As it falls, the PE energy decreases and becomes zero as it reaches the
floor. Does this mean that the energy has been dissipated? The answer is NO. The
PE energy was just converted to another form called kinetic energy. Let us consider
at least 2 types of collision to illustrate energy conversion:
1. Elastic Collisions –involve objects which separate after they collide, without any
deformation or damage. Billiard balls, ping-pong balls, and other hard objects may
collide elastically. Kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions.
KE PE PE KE
“ “
“ “
Total mechanical energy before the collision = Total mechanical energy after the collision.
The red ball comes to rest after collision because its kinetic energy has been transferred to
the blue ball. Loss in KE is gain in PE. Energy is not lost but was conserved.
2. Inelastic Collisions- the objects separate after they collide and there is
deformation in some way by the interaction. Kinetic energy is not conserved. In this
case, kinetic energy after the collision is less than than before because the kinetic
energy is converted into PE in the form of sound, heat, and deformation of the
objects.
5,000 J 4,000 J 3,000 J 6,000 J
KE KE KE + PE
Before the collision After the collision
KE + KE KE + PE
Total mechanical energy before the collision = Total mechanical energy after the collision.
KEtotal < KEtotal
The total KE before the collision is less than the total KE after the collision because some KE has
been converted to PE. But energy is still conserved!
Loss in K.E. = Gain in P.E.
After 1 s
Figure 1: You have learned that the velocity of a falling body
increases by 9.8m/s in every second of its fall. The apple is
initially at rest therefore KE at its highest point is zero while
its PE is maximum. But its KE energy increases as it falls
After 2 s because the velocity increases while the PE decreases due to
the decrease of height with respect to the ground.

CLOSURE:
Directions: Fill in the blank with potential or kinetic to complete the paragraph
explaining the energy transformations that occurs on a roller coaster.
The potential energy of the coaster cars at the peak of the first hill
determines the total amount of energy that is available for the rest of the ride. At
the top of the hill, the coaster cars have the most (1) __________. When these are
released and begin coasting down the hill, potential energy transforms into (2)
______ energy until they reached the bottom of the hill. As the car ascend to the
next hill, (3) _______ is transformed back to (4) _______ energy. Then when these
cars descend the hill, the (5) ______ is again changed into (6) ________. This
transformation between potential and kinetic continues throughout the ride until it
comes to a stop. This works behind the principle of Law of conservation of energy.
