Types of Energy
The energy that is stored within an object.
What is Potential Energy.
The energy held by an object because of its high position compared to a lower position
What is.... gravitional energy?
Plugging in your cell phone to charge is a type of what energy?
What is Electrical energy?
If two bowling balls were rolled down a lane, which of the two would have more kinetic energy?
10 lb ball or 6 lb ball
What is the 10 lb ball?
The variable that you have control over in an experiment?
What is the Independent Variable?
The energy of an object that is in motion.
What is Kinetic energy.
The energy of charged particle (electrons) movement.
What is Electrical Energy.
The passing of energy from one object to another, energy remains the same type.
What is Transfer.
Which object has the most kinetic energy:
Baseball thrown at 50 mph
Baseball thrown at 100 mph
What is the baseball at 100mph?
The variable that represents your data in a lab experiment.
What is Dependent Variable?
The energy related to the movement of particles (temperature)
What is Thermal energy.
The energy made by vibrations.
What is Sound Energy.
Energy that changes from one form to another.
What is Transformation
Two factors that influence the amount of kinetic energy in an object.
What is speed and mass
The proper format for writing a hypothesis.
The energy that is stored within matter and released upon fission or fusion.
What is Nuclear energy?
The energy that is stored in chemical compounds.
What is Chemical energy.
List the types of energy that are used in the scenario and list if they are transferred or transformed from each type. 1) You turn on the ignition of a car cause combustion to occur. 2) The pistons in the engine begin to move starts and you 3) press the gas pedal and 4) drive away.
What is start with chemical (gasoline), transform to mechanical (engine), transfer to mechanical (pressing gas pedal), transfer to mechanical (driving)
Which of the following scenarios shows an example of potential energy transferring into kinetic energy?
A ball being caught
A parked car accelerating from a red light
A skateboarder coming to a stop
A ball placed on a desk and rolling off.
What is... parked car accelerating from a red light and a ball placed on a desk rolling off?
Based on the following scenario what are the IV, DV, and constant (Each are worth 400 points)?
Different rose bushes are grown in a greenhouse for two months. The number of flowers on each bush is counted at the end of an experiment.
What is IV: Rose bushes, DV: number of flowers, Constant: same greenhouse
The energy that involves electromagnetic waves.
What is Radiant energy.
The energy of the ability to do motion.
What is Mechanical Energy.
List the types of energy that are used in the scenario and list if they are transferred or transformed from each type. 1) Sunlight is shining on a solar panel 2) The solar panel is connected to a light bulb 3) the light bulb turns on.
What is radiant energy transforms into electrical energy, which is transformed into radiant/ thermal energy.
If a basketball is placed 2 meters above the ground and a golf ball is placed 4 meters above the ground. Which has the greater potential energy?
Explain why for 200 bonus points.
What is the golf ball?
Based on the following scenario what are the IV, DV, and control (Each are worth 500 points)?
You water three sunflower plants with salt water. Each plant receives a different concentration of salt solutions. A fourth plant receives regular water. After a two-week period, the height is measured.
What is.... IV: levels of salt in the water, DV: Height of the plant, control: plant who receives regular water.
