100

Stored energy. 

Potential Energy

100

Describe what happens to molecular movement as an object heats up.

Increase, molecules will move faster as heat is added.

100

At what position would there be the most potential energy?

Position A (highest point)

100

What type of heat transfer is shown below? 

Conduction

100

What variable goes in A?

BONUS: Describe the relationship.


Mass.

Linear relationship. 

200

Energy of motion.

Kinetic Energy

200

What happens to volume as you heat a substance?

Volume increases (molecules spread out).

200

What is the formula for PE?

BONUS 1: Name the variables.

BONUS 2: Name the units.

PE = mgh

m = mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

h = height

UNITS - Joules (J)

200

What variable goes in B?

BONUS: Describe the relationship.

Velocity.

Exponential, nonlinear.

300

What is the formula for KE? 

BONUS 1: Name the variables.

BONUS 2: Name the units

KE = 1/2(m)(v2)

m = mass

v = velocity

UNITS - Joules (J)

300

Identify the heat transfer process shown below.

Convection

300

Describe the relationship between string length and the time to complete one swing.

As the string length increases, the time to complete one swing increases (direct relationship).

400

The sum of all KE and PE in a system.

Mechanical Energy

400

Why is heating something a physical change?

Heat will change the state (melting, boiling) or temperature without changing its composition.
