In the circuits we build in class, this is the object used to give power to the circuit.
A battery
100
True or false: Kinetic energy is moving energy.
True
100
What do we call the two sides of a magnet?
The north pole and the south pole
200
A lightbulb transfers energy from electricity into what?
Light
200
What is considered nonrenewable energy?
Fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and coal.
200
In the circuits we built in class, this is the part used to conduct electricity to other parts of the circuit.
A wire.
200
True or false: An object that is not moving at the top of a ramp has potential energy.
True
200
What force is being applied in picture A?
The force of attraction
300
A doorbell transfers energy into what?
Sound
300
What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy?
Renewable energy can we used over and over while nonrenewable energy can only be used once.
300
Which of these circuits will light the lightbulb
C.
300
At which position will the ball hit the wall with the most energy?
Letter C (position 4)
300
What forces are at work in picture B?
The force of repelling
400
An electric toothbrush transfers energy into what two things?
Motion and sound
400
What is the benefit of renewable energy?
It is cleaner for the environment and we do not have to worry about running out of it.
400
Which of these circuits will work?
B
400
If the top of the ramp drops to allow the ball to roll down, in what position does the potential energy turn into kinetic energy?
Position 1
400
In which picture are the forces balanced?
The forces are balanced in both pictures.
500
A red car rolls down a ramp and bumps into a blue car. The blue car starts to roll backward. Explain what happened between the red car and the blue car.
The red car transferred it's energy into the blue car when they collided.
500
What is an issue with using fossil fuels?
We can run out of them and they pollute the environment.
500
Name one way you can tell that energy is being transferred
It is producing heat, light, motion, or sound.
500
Imagine a car is rolling down this ramp. It collides with the wooden block at the end of the ramp, causing it to move. What is happening when the car hits the block?
The energy of the car is decreasing and the energy of the block is increasing.
500
How do we know if forces are balanced?
They are not moving.
