What is kinetic energy
is the moving energy, the energy when the roller coaster is swooping down.
Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.
what is brainstorming?
Putting our ideas together
what do engineers do to solve problems?
create and invent and improve
What is the process?
The "processes" are the action that brings about system goals using the inputs
what is nonrenewable energy?
There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy. Oil, natural gas, and coal are collectively called fossil fuels
What is potential energy
potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object
due to its position relative to some zero position.
