True or False (Double or 0?)
100
Energy is measured in these SI units.
What are Joules?
100
The definition of kinetic energy.
What is energy that is being used, or the energy of motion?
100
A push or pull.
What is a force?
100
Energy in an object due to its mass and height.
What is gravitational?
100
Kinetic energy can change into potential energy.
What is true?
200
Conservation of Energy: energy cannot be _________ or ____________; it can only be ___________.
What is created, destroyed, transformed?
200
Energy of waves of compressed molecules. The smallest bones in your body detect it.
What is sound energy?
200
The equation for this is force x distance.
What is work?
200
The definition of potential energy.
What is energy that is not being used; stored energy?
200
Photosynthesis is dependent on the sun's thermal energy.
What is false?
300
When energy changes from one type to another.
What is an energy transfer?
300
Energy caused by the movement of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
300
A battery which is NOT in use, has this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
300
Energy that is stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. When the bonds are broken, this energy is released. This energy makes our actions possible.
What is chemical energy?
300
All radiant energy can be seen with our eyes.
What is false?
400
A lit match converts __________ energy to __________ energy?
What is potential to kinetic? or chemical to thermal/radiant?
400
Energy that comes from the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light, ultraviolet light, and x-rays are examples.
What is radiant energy?
400
Always use the __________ scale possible when measuring force.
What is the most appropriate?
400
This is found in objects that want to bounce back to their original state after being squished or stretched.
What is stored mechanical energy?
400
Energy found in a spinning turbine or a twirling ballerina is stored-mechanical energy.
What is false?
500
Consisting of numerous energy transfers linked together, many of these begin with the sun and end with light, thermal or sound energy.
What are energy chains?
500
Thermal energy represents this atomic phenomenon, or action of atoms.
What is the movement and vibrations of atoms and molecules.
500
Coal and propane are examples of this type of energy.
What is chemical?
500
Energy that is released when atoms are split (fission) or smashed together (fusion)?
What is nuclear energy (NOT 'NUCULAR').
500
