What is the difference between Potential Energy(PE), and Kinetic Energy(KE)?
The difference between KE and PE is KE is moving energy,and PE is stored energy.
100
What is Motion?
An object is in motion if it's distance from another object is changing.
100
What is the formula for Speed?
S=d/t
100
What three things are needed for a complete circuit?
A source, path, and something to use electrons.
200
What is a similarity between Light and Sound Energy?
They both travel as waves.
200
What is the definition of speed?
Speed is a measure of how quickly gets from one place to another.
200
What is the formula for Average Speed?
Average Speed = Total Distance/ Total Time
200
What is a conductor?
A conductor is substances that allow electricity to go through them.
300
What is the definition of Energy?
Energy is the ability to cause changes in matter.
300
What is the equation for Mechanical Energy?
Mechanical Energy=Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy.
300
What is a series circuit?
A series circuit is in a row, and there is one path of electricity.
400
What is the difference between Electrical Energy(EE), and Mechanical Energy(ME)?
The difference between EE and ME is EE is caused by the movement of electrical charges, and ME is the total energy of motion and position of an object.
400
What is a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is many paths for electricity.
500
What is the definition of Thermal Energy?
Thermal Energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance (Heat Energy).
500
Why are parallel circuits used in homes instead of series circuits?
Parallel circuits are used in homes instead of series circuits because if you turn off your T.V. then all the lights will stay on if they aren't off.
