| CHAPTER 6 ENERGY |
| Potential Energy - The energy a body possesses because of it's position in a force field. |
| Kinetic Energy - Energy a body possesses by virtue of it's state of motion. |
| Kinetic and Potential Energy - This web site will explain how rollercoasters and water rides turn potential energy into kinetic energy. ~ Debbie~ Energy Transformation On a Roller Coaster- This is another web site of a roller coaster- the physics and energy of the machine. There are also links to discussions on other forms of energy known in nature. *Erin* |

| Kinetic, Potential, and Mechanical Energy- This website gives an explanation of potential, kinetic, and mechanical energies. The diagrams and equations are made easy to understand, so anyone can learn just what these concepts of energy are. ~Rebecca~ |
