100
The ability to do work or cause change
What is energy
100
the formula for mechanical energy
What is: kinetic energy + potential energy= mechanical energy

the energy of an object due to its motion
What is kinetic energy
200
DAILY DOUBLE: the energy associated with the position and motion of an object (potential & kinetic)
What is mechanical energy
200
The two forms of energy when using a toaster
What is electrical energy and thermal energy
200
DAILY DOUBLE: Name 3 forms of energy associated with the particles that make up objects.

300
stored energy based on position or shape of an object
What is potential energy
300
the energy of the moving particles of an object
What is thermal energy
300
The two forms of energy used to strike a match
What is mechanical (potential + kinetic) and thermal
300
The type of potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
What is nuclear energy
400
energy related to an object's height
What is gravitational potential energy
400
energy from sunlight that travels in waves
What is electromagnetic energy
400
List the three energy transformations that take place when a ball bounces
What is gravitational potential, elastic potential, and kinetic
400
Which letter represents the position at which the basketball has the greatest kinetic energy?
What is E. As the ball falls from C to E, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The velocity of the ball increases as it falls, which means that the ball attains its greatest velocity, and thus its greatest kinetic energy, at E.
500
energy from objects that can be stretched or compressed
What is elastic potential energy
500
energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together
What is chemical energy
500
List an energy transformation between three different forms of energy
(answers will vary)
500
Which letter represents the position at which the basketball has the greatest potential energy?
What is C. At this point, which is the highest point, all of the ball’s energy is gravitational potential energy. The ball does not have kinetic energy because it is not moving at this point.
