What is a force that pulls two objects toward each other?
What is gravity?
100
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
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
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to sound and light energy.
What is lighting?
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
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
What form of energy is being used when a person pushes heavy boxes across the floor?
Mechanical Energy
300
What is energy that is sent out in waves?
What is radiation?
300
This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.
What is a prism?
300
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
What is frequency?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
400
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?
400
The transfer of heat that occurs when one thing touches another.
What is conduction?
500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
500
What type of energy would a customer use to ring a bell?
