Potential and Kinetic Energy
What type of energy is the energy of motion?
What is Kinetic Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. What is this rule called?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
What is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another?
What is a wave?
What causes Earth to have different seasons?
What is the Earth's tilt and revolution?
What object in space has the greatest effect on Earth’s tides?
What is the moon?
A book is sitting on a high shelf. What type of energy does it have because of its position?
What is gravitational potential energy? or What is potential energy?
When a roller coaster moves down a hill, its potential energy transforms into what type of energy?
What is kinetic energy?
What type of wave moves matter back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels?
What is a longitudinal wave?
About how many degrees is Earth tilted on its axis?
What is 23.5 degrees?
What force from the Moon causes ocean water to move and create tides?
What is gravity?
A roller coaster is stopped at the top of a hill. As it begins moving down the hill, what happens to its potential and kinetic energy?
What is potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases?
A flashlight changes chemical energy in its battery into electrical energy and then into what two main forms of energy?
What are light and thermal (heat) energy?
What type of wave has particles moving up and down while the wave travels forward?
What is a transverse wave?
When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, what season does it experience?
What is summer?
What is the difference between a spring tide and a neap tide?
A spring tide has a greater tidal range (higher high tides and lower low tides), while a neap tide has a smaller tidal range.
A student throws a ball into the air. As the ball travels upward, what happens to its kinetic energy and potential energy?
What is kinetic energy decreases while potential energy increases?
A student turns on a fan. Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy that makes the blades move. What other form of energy is produced during this transformation?
What is thermal (heat) energy?
Sound is an example of what type of wave?
What is longitudinal wave?
When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, what season does it experience?
What is winter?
During which Moon phases do spring tides occur?
What are the new Moon and full Moon?
A roller coaster starts at the top of a hill with a large amount of gravitational potential energy. As it moves down the track, how is the energy transformed?
What is gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy?
A toy car rolls down a ramp and eventually stops on the floor. If energy cannot be destroyed, where did the car’s kinetic energy go?
What is sound energy?
What is the material that a wave travels through called?
What is a medium?
Why is it warmer in the summer than in the winter?
What is the Sun’s rays hit the hemisphere more directly and provide more concentrated energy?
During which Moon phases do neap tides occur, and why are the tides weaker?
What are the first-quarter and third-quarter Moon phases, because the Sun’s and Moon’s gravitational pulls work at right angles to each other?
