Non-Contact Forces
100

Two planets traveling at the same speed but one is twice the mass of the other, this one will have a greater quantity of kinetic energy. 

What is the more massive planet?

100

The kinetic energy of a ball transfers to this type of energy as it stops due to rolling friction. 

What is Heat Energy?

100

The energy that an object possesses when it is in motion. 

What is Kinetic Energy?

100

The equation that you use to calculate Kinetic Energy

What is KE=1/2(mv2)

100

This is the non-contact force present in all objects because they contain mass.

What is gravitational force?

200

These occur at the north and south magnetic poles as a result of the interaction of charged particles and the earth's magnetosphere. 

What are auroras?

200

The charged particles and electromagnetic radiation from the sun transfer energy to the surface of our planet causing it to do this.

What is warm-up and or be illuminated?

200

The energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects.

mgh

What is Potential Energy? 

PE = mgh 


200

These are the units of mass used in the Kinetic Energy equation.

What are Kilograms (Kg)

200

This non-contact force causes all objects in our universe to move. Remember to consider point of reference. 

What is gravitational force?

300

The sun releases its potential energy through this process. 

What is Nuclear Fusion?

300

We can use this to store wind energy (KE) as electrical energy. 

What is a battery?
300
You have given a book this type of energy when you pick it up off of the floor and place it on a book shelf. 

What is Potential Energy?

300

These are the metric or SI units of velocity that are used in the Kinetic Energy equation. 

What are meters per second (m/s)?
300

This non-contact force is produced on earth due to the rotating inner and outer cores of our planet.

What is magnetic force?

400

The three types of Galaxies in our universe.

What are Spiral, Elliptical, and Irregular?

400

A battery-powered flashlight transforms electrical and chemical PE into what types of KE?

What are light and heat energy?

400

This is the main type of energy that a rolling ball possesses. 

What is Kinetic Energy?

400

These are the standard units in (the metric system) that are used to communicate the result of the calculation of Kinetic Energy. 

What are Joules or (kg*m2/s2)?

400

This non-contact force is present due to the positivity or negativity present in particles. 

What is electrical force?

500

There is typically an increase in this rate as a planet's orbital radius decreases. 

What is velocity?

500

Light and this other type of energy are released when gasoline burns. 

What is heat?

500

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, this Never happens to energy.

What is created or destroyed?

500

This is the Kinetic Energy of a 2 kilogram object traveling at 4 meters per second.

What is 16 Joules or kgm2/s2

500

Two non-contact forces combine to give us the term for this type of energy transfer.
