What part of a rollercoaster represents kinetic energy?
when it is going down/ moving fast
In a glass of lemonade the ice begins to melt when the heat energy is transferred from the ice to the warmer lemonade. Which heat transfer is this an example of?
Conduction
How does a rollercoaster transform potential energy to kinetic energy?
It starts out at the top with potential energy and when it starts moving down a hill, it turns into kinetic energy.
When a atomic bomb is dropped on a country in a war, this type of energy is released
Nuclear energy
What is energy and what is it measured in?
Energy is the ability to cause change. Measured in joules (J)
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stored energy from an object's position/height and kinetic energy comes from being in motion/having speed.
Warmth coming from the fire place as you sit in front of it is an example of this type of heat transfer.
How do you know?
Radiation
You are not touching the fire and heat that comes from a fire is always radiation
