The ability to do work 

Energy

100

Give an example of potential energy.

Any example where an object is not moving and it is based on where the object is located.

a. solid

200

What is the value of the Celsius temperature scale? 

It's great for describing how water feels at a given temperature 

200

What is the plural form of the word 'Deer'

Deer

300

What unit is energy measured in?

Joules

300

What two factors determine an object's kinetic energy?

mass and speed/velocity

300

What are the three ways heat is transferred?

Conduction, convection, radiation

300

Who is this?

William Thomson 

300

How many sides does a hendecagon have?

11
400

What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy? 

As potential energy is decreasing, kinetic energy is increasing.

400

What is gravitational potential energy?

Energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.

400

What is temperature a measurement of?

The average kinetic energy of the atoms in a substance.

400

What is the conversion factor between Kelvin and Celsius?

± 273(.15)

400

How many feet are in are in two miles?

5,280 x 2 = 10,560

500

How is nuclear energy generated 

Energy released through the Fusion or Fission of Atomic Nuclei


When atomic bonds are formed or broken, energy is released as a result  

500

What is elastic potential energy?

Energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object.

500

How is heat transferred through radiation 

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves 

500

What's a thermometer 

A tool that measures changes in thermal energy 
500

Who was the fifth president of the United States

James Monroe 

600

Why does the bowling ball not hit Neil in the Face 

The total energy of a system remains constant. the bowling ball cannot exceed it's initial potential/velocity and as it flies through air some of that energy is lost through air resistance/friction 

600

If the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.625 m/s2. What is the potential energy of a 20 g object that is 0.5m in the air 

16.25j

600

How does convection impact life on earth?

Convections currents drive numerous natural processes like weather conditions, ocean currents and plate tectonics
