The type of energy transformation that happens when you turn on a radio.
What is electrical to sound energy?
100
The definition for renewable energy.
What is an energy that can be replaced as quickly as it is used?
100
This only works during the day.
What is solar power?
100
An energy fuel that is black, hard, safe to touch, and easy to transport.
What is coal?
100
Energy that is waiting to be used.
What is potential energy?
200
The type of energy that is always released when energy is transformed.
What is thermal energy?
200
Hydroelectric, wave, and tidal
What are water based sources of energy?
200
This creates radioactive waste that is dangerous to handle and store.
What is nuclear power?
200
This fuel is very dangerous and may only last for another 50-100 years. It makes a lot of energy from small amounts of fuel.
What is Uranium?
200
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
The energy transformation that occurs when we first receive the energy in food.
What is chemical energy to chemical energy?
300
Biomass, Biogas, and Biofuels
What are man-made sources of energy?
300
This only works in coastal areas.
What is wave power?
300
This fuel is an important part of the Texas economy. It is often referred to as Black Gold. It was formed by bacteria decomposing plankton and another fuel formed after this fuel was heated and put under great pressure.
What is oil?
300
The relationship between kinetic and potential energies.
What is opposites (as one increases the other decreases)?
400
This is the type of energy transformation that happens when the energy in our food is used to move our bodies.
What is chemical energy to mechanical (or kinetic) energy?
400
A free energy source that can be turned directly into electricity with the use of photovoltaic panels.
What is solar (or light or radiant) energy?
400
This only works when water is moving in and out of an area.
What is tidal power?
400
This fuel came from plants in a swamp, makes a lot of smoke when it burns so it is rarely used, and when put under pressure can form the hardest form of coal.
What is peat?
400
This is where a roller coaster car has the most potential energy.
What is at the top of the biggest hill?
500
Three energy transformations when a firework goes off
What is heat energy to light energy, chemical, and sound energy?
500
Sources of energy that could be renewable if we had millions of years to wait.
What are Fossil Fuels?
500
This is noisy, produces a small amount of electricity, may harm birds, and is unreliable.
What is wind power?
500
Three disadvantages of fossil fuels.
What is non-renewable, destroys habitats when collected, and causes pollution?
500
This is what happens with potential energy and kinetic energy when a ball rolls down a hill.
What is the ball has the most potential energy at the top of the hill where it is still and it changes into kinetic energy as it rolls down the hill and increases in speed.
