Kinetic and Potential
The formula for potential energy
What is mass x gravity x height?
Thermal energy that travels in waves
What is radiation?
The goal of science
What is understanding or studying the world?
Three examples of precipitation
Rain, Snow, Sleet, Hail
The three types of fronts
Warm, Cold, and Stationary
The formula for kinetic energy
What is 1/2 x mass x velocity squared?
Energy transfer by direct contact
What is conduction?
The goal of engineering
What is solving problems?
The first layer of the atmosphere
What is the troposphere?
The milibar requirements for high and low pressure
What is 1015+ for high pressure, and 995- for low pressure?
Energy stored in the compression of objects
What is elastic energy?
Energy transfer in fluids because of differences in density
What is convection
The first rule of lab safety
What is always follow directions?
Warm near the ground, cold as you move into the upper atmosphere. Due to the decrease in density of the air in the upper altitudes.
The symbol for a stationary front
What are alternating blue triangles and red half circles?
The law of conservation of energy
What is energy can't be created or destroyed?
The formula for density
What is Density = Mass/Volume
Director of the Hayden Planetarium and astrophysicist who hosts Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey
Who is Neil deGrasse Tyson?
The temperature and humidity patterns during an isolated storm
The way high and low pressure air moves
What is high pressure moves down and out, low pressure move in and up?
Calculate the kinetic energy using the following:
Mass = 1
Velocity = 2
What is 2?
Why metal feels cool
Because metal is a conductor, it speeds up the rate of heat transfer. It feels cold because you are feeling heat leave your hand.
Author of Slient Spring, a marine biologist who shed light on the environmental concerns of pesticides and whose work led to the banning of DDT and creation the EPA
Who is Rachel Carson?
How the air recieves heat energy
What is the air conducts energy from the ground, which absorbs radiatve energy from the sun?
A fourth type of front
What is an occluded front?
