Tennis Module 6.0: Stroke of Energy: Grades 6-8

Welcome to your Tennis Module 6.0: Stroke of Energy: Grades 6-8

Is this your pre or post assessment?
Grade

1. To use the formula KE=1/2mv², the following units must be used:

Kinetic energy is measured in

Mass is measured in

Velocity is measured in

Word Bank: grams, kilograms, meters, meters per second, meters per second2, Newtons

2. A tennis ball is hit at a velocity of 30 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of that ball? (The mass of a tennis ball is 0.057 kg)

3. The Kinetic Energy(KE) of a tennis ball can be found using the equation KE=1/2mv²; m is the mass of the ball, and v is the velocity. If the velocity of the ball is doubled, what happens to the kinetic energy?
