True or False: A skateboarder has the most potential energy at the MIDDLE of a ramp, not the top.
What is FALSE?
100
A dog running has this kind of energy.
What is KINETIC ENERGY?
100
This is energy of MOTION.
What is kinetic energy?
100
This girl sold more ice cream than her friend, Kelly.
Who is Samantha?
200
A ball held from 200 cm and let go will never bounce back to 200 cm because of this.
What is TRANSFORMATION of potential energy to kinetic, sound and thermal energy?
200
A paper airplane flying through the air is showing what kind(s) of energy?
What is BOTH KINETIC AND POTENTIAL?
200
This kind of energy is STORED energy.
What is potential energy?
200
Emily sold this many more ice cream cones than Megan.
What is 30?
300
A child on a sled will stop when she gets to the bottom of the hill because of this.
What is the gravitational potential energy transforms to kinetic and thermal energy?
300
A ball held at 200 cm has this kind of energy.
What is GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY?
300
This kind of energy depends on POSITION, or height.
What is gravitational potential energy?
300
The skater has the MOST potential energy at this point.
What is A?
400
As a skateboarder travels down a track, the gravitational potential energy is transformed to this.
What is kinetic and thermal energy?
400
A battery in an unlit flashlight has this kind of energy.
What is POTENTIAL ENERGY?
400
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
400
The skater has the most KINETIC energy at this point.
What is C?
500
True or False: A tiny chipmunk falling from a tree has greater potential energy than an orangutan.
What is FALSE?
500
At the top of the same size ramp, this has the most GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY: a watermelon or an orange.
What is a watermelon?
500
This is defined as using a FORCE to move an OBJECT over a DISTANCE.
What is WORK?
500
This graph shows the skater at this point, because his kinetic energy is equal to potential energy.
