    E. Mass Flow of liquid
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - kinetic energy KE

    When a liquid is moving, it possesses kinetic energy due to its velocity. The kinetic
    energy Ke of a moving liquid can be calculated using the formula:

    Where:
    • m is the mass of liquid (kg)
    • v is the velocity of the liquid (m/s)
    • Unit - kgxm²/s², or Joule (J)
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - kinetic energy K

    Example: How will the kinetic energy of a moving object change if its
    a. mass doubles?
    b. if the speed doubles?

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - kinetic energy K

    Example: Calculate the kinetic energy of a 750kg race car traveling 55 m/s down the
    racetrack.

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - kinetic energy K

    Example: A bowling ball is rolling down a ramp at a constant velocity of 2.5 m/s and
    has a kinetic energy equal to 18.8 J. What is the mass of the bowling ball?

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - kinetic energy KE

    Example: A locomotive has a mass of 190000kg and has 2500000J of kinetic energy.
    Calculate the velocity of the locomotive.

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - potential energy PE

    In addition to kinetic energy, the liquid may also possess potential energy if it is at
    an elevated position in a gravitational field. The potential energy PE due to gravity
    is given by the formula:

    Where:
    • m is the mass of liquid (kg)
    • g=9.8m/s² is the acceleration due to gravity
    • h is the height above a reference point (Meter)
    • Unit-Joule (J)
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - potential energy PE

    Example: Determine the potential energy of a ball at a height of 50 meters and a


    mass of 10 kg.

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - potential energy PE

    Example: Determine the potential energy of a ball that falls from a height of 50
    meters and weighs 10 kg at the moment it touches the ground.

    Solution:
    A. Energies stored in a moving liquid - potential energy PE

    Example: Determine the speed of a ball that falls from a height of 50 meters and
    weighs 10 kg at the moment it touches the ground.

    Solution:
    Performance Criteria: II. Hydraulics Kinetic energy & Potential energy.

    Task:
    a. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 1250kg race car traveling 15 m/s
    down the racetrack.
    b. A bowling ball is rolling down a ramp at a constant velocity of 1.5
    m/s and has a kinetic energy equal to 12.8 J. What is the mass of
    the bowling ball?
    c. Determine the potential energy of a ball at a height of 40 meters
    and a mass of 10 kg.
    d. Determine the speed of a ball that falls from a height of 40 meters
    and weighs 10 kg at the moment it touches the ground.
