Potential and Kinetic
Define potential Energy
Potential energy is stored energy due to position or arrangement of parts.
Energy that has the ability to fall; this type of energy increases the higher up you go.
Gravitational potential energy.
A/C is an example of which type of thermal energy transfer
Convection
Define kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of atoms, molecules, waves, or objects in motion.
The form of energy that we eat
Chemical energy.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Energy can be not be created or destroyed, only change its form
Conduction
What are the 2 factors that influence potential Energy?
What are the 2 factors that influence kinetic energy?
Potential -> Height and Mass
Kinetic -> Speed and Mass
Wind blowing a wind mill is what type of energy mainly?
Mechanical energy.
Energy that travels in transverse waves
Radiant, light or electromagnetic energy
Exothermic
List 2 types of potential energy.
List 2 types of kinetic energy.
Potential -> Chemical, Elastic, Nuclear, Gravitational
Kinetic -> Light, Sound, Mechanical, Thermal, Electric
The majority energy form within a drawn back bow and arrow
Elastic energy
The type of energy caused by the movement of molecules
thermal energy.
Why does a blanket work to warm you up?
Works through convection
When something drops when does it have the most kinetic energy?
At the bottom of its fall right before hitting the ground.
A car igniting the fuel, driving the piston down, to being moving.
Chemical energy -> thermal energy -> mechanical energy
The sun is an example of this type of energy.
Heat, Radiant, Nuclear and Gravitational
The type of energy that is stored within the center of an atom
Nuclear Energy
Why does a ball slow when you kick it? Where did it's energy go?
It slows due to friction. Its mechanical energy is transforming into thermal energy via friction.
