Energy
There is two objects with the same mass that are thrown high into the air. Object A climbs a little higher than Object B, Object B returns to the ground earlier. Which Object had more potential energy?
What is Object A?
What two things cause potential energy to increase?
Mass and Height
The stored energy in the bonds of the molecules.
What is Chemical?
What makes Goliath the rollercoaster at six flags have the greatest kinetic energy? Be specific about the exact energy type.
What is the height of the originally hill. Giving more gravitational potential energy?
Name the energy transformation in a hand crank fan.(we did this when first learned about the different types of energy)
It starts with mechanical energy turning the fan. The mechanical energy turns a generator that turns the energy into electrical energy to then turn the fan with mechanical energy.
In a system this type of energy always remains constant
What is total energy?
The total kinetic energy of the particles of an object. The collision of the atoms
What is Thermal?
The energy of moving electrons
What is Electrical Energy?
An object will eventually stop due to this type of energy transferred out.
What is Thermal Energy (due to friction)
What is one type of energy that is always given off during energy transformations?
What is thermal Energy?
The only type of energy that can travel through space because it travels in waves
What is radiant?
Two student are trying to shoot rubber bands across the room. Which student will shoot the rubber band the furthest and why? (be specific about the type of energy transformations as well)
The student who pulls the rubber band back the furthers increasing the elastic potential energy transforming it into mechanical kinetic energy.
What is a system?
A group of things interacting with each other.
The energy in the nucleus of an atom.
What is Nuclear energy?
At what position would the pendulum have the greatest potential energy and the greatest Kinetic energy?
Greatest gravatational potential energy would A and E.
Greatest Kinetic energy would be C.
What word do we use instead of weight?
Bonus: Why
Mass
Because weight changes based on the amount of gravity. Mass stays the same.
