100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100

Identify this energy transformation.

A car coming to a sudden and complete stop. 

Electrical-->Thermal---> Sound--->

100

Which wave has the highest energy?

Gamma rays 

100
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound energy?
200
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200

Which of the following describes the law of conservation of energy?

a. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

b. Energy can only be released through transformation.

c. When energy is conserved, it always changes form.

d. Energy increase when it is transferred from one object to another. 

A

200
The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.
What is wavelength?
200
Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.
What are vibrations?
300
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
300
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
What are ultraviolet rays?
300
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
What is frequency?
400

The rate at which work is done

Power 

400
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
400

Identify this energy transformation. 

Electricity flows to microwave as it reheats your food.

Electrical --> light --> thermal 

400
At what speed does radio waves travel?

The speed of light

400

Which medium does sound travel slowest in?

Gas/Vacuum

500

A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.

What is applied force?

500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
500

Identify this energy transformation.
