Energy
What is the ability to do work?
energy
The force that moves objects away is called _______.
push
The path through which electricity flows.
circuit
Thermal energy is also known as ________ energy.
heat
You get your energy from this.
When energy moves from one place to another this is called __________.
energy transfer
The force that moves objects closer to you is called ______________.
pull
This circuit will not light a bulb. It is incomplete and does not connect pathways.
open circuit
What force pulls objects toward the earth?
Gravity
The part of a light bulb that produces light.
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stored energy.
Kinetic energy is energy in motion (moving energy).
The heavier an object, the more _______ you'll need to move it.
force
What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?
Series: Has only one path that electricity can flow through
Parallel: Has more than one path that electricity can flow through.
A machine that has a series of energy transfers
What type of material is the best conductor of electricity?
Why is the first hill of a roller coaster the tallest?
The higher the hill, the more potential energy is stored. You need the greatest amount of potential energy to give you enough momentum for the whole ride.
What is created when you rub your hands together?
Heat caused by friction
What type of material that stops the flow of electricity?
Insulators
When an object hits or crashes into another object this is called a ___________.
collision
The faster an object moves, the more _________ energy it has.
Name the six different forms of energy
Electrical, sound, light, mechanical, chemical, and thermal
Why does a ball rolling on the floor come to a stop?
There is friction created between the ball and the floor. Friction causes motion to slow down or stop.
If you have a parallel circuit with 3 light bulbs and unplug one of the bulbs, will the rest still be lit? Why?
Yes because a parallel circuit has more than one path for electricity to flow so it won't interrupt the flow of electricity to the other bulbs.
What type of circuits do we have in schools or houses? Explain
Parallel circuits because if we turn off one room's light, it doesn't affect any other lights in the house or building.
The number and location of each terminal on a battery and light bulb
4 total: both metal ends of a battery and the metal side of a light bulb or the metal end
