This is the term for resources that are found in nature that can be used by living things
This is the Law of the Conservation of Energy
What is Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed
This is the difference between potential and kinetic energy
What is potential energy is energy available and kinetic energy is energy of motion
This is the definition of balanced forces
What is when forces are equal in strength but opposite in direction
At this time, the toy did not have any movement
What is 4 seconds
This is the term used for resources that can be used again because they can be replenished
What is renewable resource
This energy transformation happens from the battery to the light being given off on a computer screen
What is chemical to electrical to light
Between the top of the hill, halfway down the hill and the bottom of the hill, this point has the greatest potential energy
What is the top of the hill
This is the definition of unbalanced forces
What is when forces are unbalanced in strength and opposite or the same in direction
True or false: at the beginning of the toy's journey, the toy was traveling fast. The slope is steep.
What is false
This is the term for resources that cannot be used again because humans use them faster than they can be replenished or cannot be remade at all
What is nonrenewable resources
This energy transformation happens when a girl rubs her hands together to get warm while its cold outside
What is mechanical to thermal
Between the top of the hill, halfway down the hill and the bottom of the hill, this point has the greatest kinetic energy
What is the bottom of the hill
True or false: When an object isn't moving, there is no force at work
What is false: the object's forces are balanced
This ramp needs the most force
What is A
This energy transformation produces electricity and is least likely to negatively impact the environment.
A Generating electricity from a natural gas-fired power plant
B Generating electricity from a coal-fired power plant
C Generating electricity from a nuclear power plant
D Generating electricity from a solar panel system
What is answer D
This energy transformation happens when a hawk eats a mouse and uses the energy from eating the mouse to fly
What is chemical energy to mechanical energy
This energy transformation happens as a rock is falling off of a cliff. As ____________ decreases, _______________ increases
What is potential, kinetic
True or false: The forces are acting in opposite directions
What is true
This ramp needs the least amount of force
What is C
This explains the disadvantage of only using nonrenewable resources instead of renewable resources
What is non renewable resources run out. To only use them means that when they run out, humans and Earth will not have them anymore.
This energy transformation happens when a hot plate is plugged in and turned on
What is electrical energy to thermal energy
This is the energy transformation that happens when a runner is at the starting line preparing to race
What is potential energy
This is the direction that the object will move based on the forces at work
What is to the right
This is true of force on an short but steep ramp
What is more force has to be applied because the slope is steep
