Kinetic/Potential Energy
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Energy carried by electrical charges.
What is electrical energy?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
This is the time taken for one wave to pass a point
What is time period?
energy stored in fuel
What is chemical energy?
This force causes energy to be wasted as heat
What is friction?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is a solar powered calculator?
The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.
What is wavelength?
The number for the speed of light in a vacuum.
What is 300 000 000 m/s?
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.
What is a prism?
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
What is frequency?
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Kinetic energy can be converted to heat when acted on by these forces.
What are resistive/opposing forces?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
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?
The distance moved by a wave per second.
What is the wave speed?
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the law of Conservation of Energy?
This type of radiant energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.
What are gamma rays?
The formula is
wave speed = frequency x wavelength
What is the wave equation?
