Types of Energy
This type of energy is referred to as the energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
What does GPE stand for?
What is gravitational potential energy?
This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
The type of energy is determined due to the motion of the particles within the object.
What is electrical to sound?
This type of energy is energy that is "stored"
What is potential energy?
What two factors will determine the objects GPE?
What is height and mass?
This law states that energy will always flow from areas with high energy to areas with low energy.
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
This explains why rubbing two wooden sticks together may result in a fire.
What is friction?
This transformation describes food being used to fuel a soccer player.
What is chemical to motion?
This type of energy is stored in the bonds of an atom.
What is chemical?
What will GPE transform into?
What is kinetic energy?
This describes when energy is bounced back as the same form of energy.
What is reflection?
This is the term used to describe how much thermal energy can be stored in an object.
What is specific heat capacity?
This transformation describes the movement of a roller coaster car from the top of the first hill down towards the bottom of the first hill.
What is gravitational potential energy to kinetic?
This type of energy is used when pulling a slingshot back.
What is elastic energy?
This explains why energy is not used up when driving a car.
What is transformation?
This describes when energy goes into an object and doesn't come out as the same form.
What is absorbed?
These factors influence how much thermal heat can be stored in an item.
Mass, material, thermal energy of the system
What is kinetic to thermal?
This type of energy does not need matter to move.
What is radiation?
If the kinetic energy of an object is 300j half way down, then the gravitational potential energy is ______ at the top.
What is 600j?
This describes what happens to energy since it cannot be created or destroyed.
What is transformed?
This described which direction energy is flowing between ice and water when they are in the same cup.
What is from water to ice?
This transformation describes a solar oven warming up food.
What is light to thermal to chemical?
