What is Energy
The ability to do work or cause change is called
|
Mechanical.
The fan has both potential and kinetic energy
A fan that is turned on has this type of energy
|
Friction.
The object's kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.
What eventually stops a pendulum from swinging, and why?
|
Joules
Energy is measured in this.
|
What is Gravitational, or gravitational potential energy
This type of potential energy depends on height
|
Nuclear Energy
The Sun has this type of energy due to it's nucleus
|
Mechanical and Thermal Energy
What are the two things your body converts chemical energy into?
|
Kinetic and Potential
Name the two basic forms of energy
|
What is Mechanical Energy
Mechanical Energy is calculated by doing this
|
Chemical Energy
This type of energy is stored in food
|
Mass and Speed
Speed has a greater effect
What are the two things that effect kinetic energy?
Which has a greater effect? |
Nuclear, Thermal, Electric,
Electromagnetic, and Chemical
Name the forms of energy that are associated with the particles that make up objects
|
What is The Law of Conservation of Energy
This says energy cannot be created or destroyed
|
Electromagnetic Energy
This type of energy is what we see
|
It's kinetic energy is multiplied by 4
What happens to an object's kinetic energy if you double it's velocity (speed)?
|
C. When it's at the top of the hill waiting to drop
When does a roller coaster have the greatest amount of potential energy?
A. When it's just started moving. B. On it's way up the first hill. C. When it's at the top of the hill waiting to drop D. After it has dropped E. At the bottom of the hill |
What is Energy Transformation
This refers to the process of energy being transferred
|
Thermal Energy
This type of energy produces heat
|
Elastic Potential
A stretched rubber band has this type of energy
|
D. After it has dropped
When does a roller coaster have the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
A. When it's just started moving. B. On it's way up the first hill. C. When it's at the top of the hill waiting to drop D. After it has dropped E. At the bottom of the hill |
