Kinetic energy
This energy is the energy of motion or movement, and it depends on an object's mass and speed.
What is kinetic energy
This energy is stored and can be converted into kinetic energy, like a coiled spring.
What is potential energy
This type of energy is stored and ready to be used, often due to position or state of an object.
What is potential energy?
What energy transformation occurs when a microwave heats food?
What is Electrical energy to thermal energy
What is conduction?
What is Heat transfer through direct contact between objects.
The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * mv^2, where 'm' represents what?
What is mass
What type of potential energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?
What is elastic potential energy
A coiled spring ready to be released, a rock at the top of a hill, and water behind a dam all exemplify this form of energy.
What is potential energy?
When a car engine burns gasoline, what type of energy is being converted into mechanical energy?
What is Chemical energy
What is convection
What is Heat transfer through the movement of a fluid (like air or water).
An object with a higher speed will have what type of kinetic energy?
What is more kinetic energy
The energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field is known as what?
What is gravitational potential energy
This energy form is associated with motion, like a rolling ball or a moving car.
What is kinetic energy?
Solar panels convert sunlight into what type of energy?
What is Electrical energy
What is radiation
What is Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, like sunlight.
The standard unit for kinetic energy in the International System of Units is what?
What is Joule
Chemical potential energy is released during what kind of process?
What is chemical reaction
As a diver jumps off a platform into a pool, their potential energy is being transformed into this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
What energy transformation happens when a speaker plays music?
Electrical energy to sound energy
whats an example of a good emitter/radiator of heat?
What is blackened surfaces, electronic heat sinks, and certain metals like copper with a black oxide finish
What is the relationship between the mass and speed of an object and its kinetic energy?
what is as mass increases, so does kinetic energy, and as speed increases, kinetic energy increases proportionally to the square of the speed.
The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh. What does each letter represent?
What is PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height.
When a pendulum swings, it constantly oscillates between having maximum potential and maximum kinetic energy, creating a cycle of transformation.
What is the transformation of energy between potential and kinetic energy?
What energy transformation occurs when a hydroelectric dam generates electricity?
What is Mechanical energy to electrical energy
What drives heat transfer?
What is conduction, convection, and radiation
