The energy due to the motion of a mass
What is Kinetic Energy?
100
This law states energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
What is Conservation?
100
Station 3 - This is how energy is transformed when the light source causes the thermometer temperature to increase.
What is Radiant Energy (Light) to Thermal Energy?
100
A 5 kg rock and a 10 kg rock are dropped from a height of 10 m. Which of the following statements describes what happens to the potential energy of the rocks? A. Neither rock loses potential energy because no work is done on the rocks. B. The 10 kg rock loses more potential energy than the 5 kg rock because the 10 kg rock has more mass. C. The 10 kg rock loses more potential energy than the 5 kg rock because the 10 kg rock falls faster. D. Both rocks lose the same amount of potential energy because they fall from the same height.
What is B, it has more PE because it has more mass?
100
This is one way to make your home more energy efficient or to help conserve power?
What are double-paned windows? Turning off lights or water? Solar panels?
200
The energy due to the internal vibration or movements of atoms in a substance. Also known as heat.
What is Thermal Energy?
200
This law states that all physical events involve transferring energy.
What is Transformation?
200
Station One - When a ball is dropped from your hand to the ground, how is energy transformed?
What is Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy?
200
A cart at the top of a hill is released and rolls down the hill. Which of the following describes the energy of the cart just as it reaches the bottom of the hill? A. The cart has no energy. B. The cart has maximum kinetic energy. C. The cart has maximum gravitational potential energy. D. The cart has equal gravitational potential and kinetic energy.
What is B, maximum kinetic energy?
200
This is the theory that some scientists think caused the creation of all energy.
What is The Big Bang Theory?
300
The energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Gas coal are examples.
What is Chemical Energy?
300
This law states that energy is always more spread out during conversions.
What is Entropy?
300
Station 2 - When baking soda and vinegar are mixed how is energy being tranformed in the plastic bag?
What is Chemical Energy to Thermal Energy?
300
Which of the following increases when a metal spring is stretched horizontally? A. potential energy B. kinetic energy C. gravitational energy D. electrical energy
What is A, potential energy?
300
This is the mathematical equation for Gravitational Potential Energy.
What is mgh?
400
The energy of a force acting on an object to cause a displacement.
What is Work?
400
This is how energy comes from the sun to let me shake a jar of sand. Explain the law and how it is applied to make humans move.
What is Transformation? Energy goes from Radiant Energy to Chemical Energy to Kinetic Energy (the human moving).
400
Station 5 - This is the effect of thermal energy on glowsticks (two options).
What is hot water makes the glowstick brighter? What is cold water makes the glowstick more dull?
400
The diagram below shows the path of a student on a sled starting from rest at point W. The student slides down a frictionless, snow-covered hill past point Z, which is at ground level. Which of the following statements best describes the energy of the student and sled from point W to point Z? A. The total energy at point W is less than at point Z. B. The total energy at point W is greater than at point Z. C. The potential energy at point W becomes all kinetic energy at point Z. D. The kinetic energy at point W becomes all potential energy at point Z.
What is C? The potential energy becomes kinetic energy.
