200

The rate at which work is done is...

Power

200
The energy that an object has because of its position or condition
Potential energy
200
Energy caused by the movement of electrons
Electrical energy
200
Explain the transformation that takes place when you turn on a flashlight.
What is Chemical (of the battery) to electrical (flow of electrons) to light energy (from the light) and thermal energy (the heat produced by the light)
200

If you push on a door that says pull is work being done on the door? Why or why not?

No because work is the use of force to move an object. You exerted a force but did not move the object.

300
What is the ability to do work?
energy
300
The energy an object has because of its motion
kinetic energy
300

Energy that is stored in bonds between atoms is...

Chemical energy

300
A coal grill converts _____ energy to _____ energy
Chemical to thermal

While on vacation, Carine rides in a hot-air balloon. To make the balloon rise, the pilot turns on a flame to warm the air inside the balloon. How does the air change?

The motion of the air particles increases.

400

Gravitational Potential Energy depends on...

Mass and Height

400
What two variables influence an objects kinetic energy and how?
Mass and speed More mass = more kinetic energy More speed = more kinetic energy
400

What three other terms is Electromagnetic Energy referred to as....
