Potential & Kinetic Energy
Gravity
Energy
Light
Sound
100
An object at a high point or an object about to move or fall has this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
100
True or False: Gravity is a FORCE
True! Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward one another.
100
The energy that is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles (photons) is what type of energy.
What is light?
100
True or False: Light Energy is energy made out of PHOTONS (tiny particles of light)
True!
Photons are tiny particles of light that our eyes can detect.
100
ONE WAY that Sound Energy and Light Energy are different from each other is __________
Light can travel through MATTER and SPACE, but Sound can only travel through MATTER
You can see Light, but not Sound
Light is made out of ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES, and Sound is made out of MECHANICAL WAVES
200
The energy of motion (depends on mass and velocity).
What is kinetic energy?
200
The force of attraction between two objects that is due to their masses and distance between them.
What is gravity?
200
The type of heat transfer made through DIRECT CONTACT between two objects.
(CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, or RADIATION)
What is Conduction?
200
When light BOUNCES OFF of an object, it is known as _______.
(REFLECTION, TRANSMISSION, REFRACTION, or ABSORPTION)
What is reflection
200
Sound waves must travel through __________________ in order for us to hear sound.
What is matter (a medium)?
Sound waves travel between molecules of matter, causing them to vibrate, which is the sound we hear!
300
True or False: "Energy" is the ability to DO WORK, MAKE THINGS MOVE, or cause CHANGES IN MATTER.
True!
300
True or False: The GREATER the mass an object has, the MORE Gravitational Potential Energy it has.
True!
Objects with bigger masses require more energy to fall towards the ground.
300
The type of heat transfer which travel through invisible WAVES through matter and space.
(CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, or RADIATION)
What is radiation?
300
When light STOPS at an object, and no light bounces off or passes through.
(REFLECTION, TRANSMISSION, REFRACTION, or ABSORPTION)
What is absorption?
300
A wave that must have a medium.
What is a mechanical wave?
400
The energy of an object in MOTION is called what?
Kinetic Energy
400
The amount of matter that makes up an object determines this.
What is mass?
400
The type of heat transfer made through the movement of FLUIDS (liquids or gasses).
(CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, or RADIATION)
What is convection?
400
When light goes STRAIGHT THROUGH an object, this is known as _________
(REFLECTION, TRANSMISSION, REFRACTION, or ABSORPTION)
What is transmission?
400
Created by vibrations of matter that result in the transfer of energy.
What is sound?
500
The energy STORED inside of an object due to its position is called what?
Potential Energy
500
A measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object.
What is weight?
500
The total energy of moving particles that make up an object (often called heat) is this type of energy.
What is thermal energy?
500
When light goes THROUGH an object and BENDS at an angle.
(REFLECTION, TRANSMISSION, REFRACTION, or ABSORPTION)
What is refraction?
500
The speed in which sound travels.
What is FREQUENCY?
(High pitched noises have quick frequencies.
Low pitched noises have slow frequencies.)
