100
This happens when a force is exerted to move an object through a distance
What is work
100
The net force on a soccer ball when one boy kicks it with 50 N of force to the left and a second boy kicks it with 80N of force to the right. (size and direction)
What is 30 N to the right
100
This is the type of energy that a toaster produces when you plug it in and place bread in it.
What is thermal energy
100
This is the type of energy illustrated (kinetic or potential) when uneaten food is setting on a plate.
What is potential energy
100
These are the three main fossil fuels
What are coal, oil, and natural gas
200
This is transferred every time work is done.
What is energy
200
This is the amount of work being done when 10 N of force is used to lift an object up 1.5m.
What is 15 Nm or 15 J
200
This is the type of energy found in food.
What is chemical energy
200
This is the type of energy being illustrated when a propane tank is shown (PIG) kinetic or potential.
What is potential
200
This is the type of energy that comes from living things like corn, wood, grass etc….
What is biomass energy
300
Two units that can be used to measure the amount of energy or work being done.
What is Newton meter and Joule or Newton meter and Calorie or Joule and Calorie
300
This is the amount of work done on a laundry basket weighing 8N. It is lifted up 1m and carried down the hall 3 meters to your room.
What is 8Nm or 8 J
300
This is the type of energy that the sun and other stars produce/give off.
What is electromagnetic energy
300
This is the type of energy that is at it's maximum at the bottom of the first hill on a roller coaster
What is kinetic energy
300
These two fossil fuels are usually found at the bottom of the ocean or once ocean covered areas.
What are oil/petroleum and natural gas
400
This is the process that occurs in the core of the sun as well as other stars
What is Nuclear Fusion
400
This is the average speed that Bob ran at when he moved a distance of 100 meters in 20 seconds.
What is 5 meters per second
400
A windmill is designed to do this type of energy transformation.
What is mechanical energy to electrical energy
400
These are the two factors that affect the amount of potential energy an object has (think about the formula for calculating)
What is weight and height
400
This form of renewable energy does not involve a turbine or a generator
What is solar energy
500
This is the element whose atoms are split at nuclear power plants.
What is Uranium
500
This is the time it took a car to travel 200 miles at a speed of 50 mph.
What is 4 hours
500
These are all of the energy transformations involved at a power plant from (1) burning coal to heating water to (2) turning a turbine to (3)turning a generator to (4)producing usable power for power lines.
What is (1) chemical to thermal (burn coal), (2)thermal to mechanical (turn turbine), (3)mechanical to mechanical (turbine turns generator), (4)mechanical to electrical (generator wire releasing electrons)
500
These are the two factors that affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has (think about the formula for calculating)
