Potential & Kinetic Energy
The force that pulls objects towards Earth
What is gravity?
The method of heat transfer in which currents form of warm molecules rising and cool ones sinking.
What is convection?
The type of energy that measures the energy of an object that moves
What is mechanical energy?
This form of energy involves electricity and magnetism. Its science was applied to create the X-ray
What is electromagnetism?
Short term changes to the atmosphere. Occur on a daily basis, examples include rain and snow.
What is weather?
The energy of motion.
Kinetic Energy
The method of heat transfer in which molecules must be in contact for heat to be transferred.
What is conduction?
When incoming light bounces off of an object
What is reflection?
The type of electrical circuit in which one wire forms a loop
What is a series circuit?
Long term patterns in weather.
What is climate?
The energy of an object not yet in motion.
Potential Energy.
The method of heat transfer in which heat travels in energy waves, such as visible light from the sun.
What is radiation?
Power or loudness of sound
What is amplitude?
The type of electrical circuit in which two wires run alongside another.
What is a parallel circuit?
This phenomena describes a catastrophic weather event in which severe damage to man made structures as well as changes to life occur.
What is a natural hazard?
A child sledding down a hill has this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
Sitting by a campfire
What is radiation?
The number of waves passing through a point in a given amount of time.
What is frequency?
The type of energy that is stored in bonds between molecules.
What is chemical energy?
The three parts of the water cycle.
What is precipitation, condensation, and evaporation?
A rollercoaster at the top of a track has this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
A spoon being heated while sitting in a bowl of soup.
What is conduction?
The charge of the electrical particles protons and electrons.
What is positive and negative?
When a chemical bond is broken this is released.
What is heat?
In the two earth model kit lab this gas was released as a product of the alka seltzer reaction. This gas also plays a large role in the warming of the atmosphere as it is a greenhouse gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
