If two objects have the same mass, which has more kinetic energy: the faster or slower object?
The faster object
What type of energy is created by electrical charges?
Electrical Energy
What are the three major types of fossil fuels?
Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas
"the ability to do work or cause change"
Energy
Make Ms. Rupp smile :)
Awwww...
What are the two types of potential energy we discussed?
Gravitational and Elastic
What type of energy comes from the movement of atoms within an object?
Thermal (heat speeds up atoms)
What process allows plants to transform sunlight into stored chemical energy?
Photosynthesis
"The transfer of energy between objects"
wisdom or good judgement
What kind of energy does a compressed spring have?
Elastic potential energy
What type of energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom?
List the flow of energy from Sun to Lightbulb
(ex. Nuclear --> .... --> ... --> ... --> Electrical)
Nuclear -> Electromagnetic -> Chemical -> Thermal -> Electrical

Bowling ball hitting a pin, hitting a nail with a hammer, domino train, anything!
What process releases nuclear energy by splitting an atom?
Nuclear Fission
What substance builds up pressure in a power plant boiler to turn a turbine?
"energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground"
Gravitational Potential Energy
Recite the pledge in Latin
Legendary.
What is the scientific unit used to measure energy?
Joule (J)
What type of energy travels in waves and includes sunlight and X-rays?
Electromagnetic Energy
Describe how fossil fuels were created
Mass death of organisms
Sand and clay covered remains, with underwent centuries of high temperature, high pressure
This converted the carbon into fuels
Describe the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
Fission: splitting atoms
Fusion: fusing atoms together
