Energy Types
Causes molecules to speed up
Strumming a guitar
The bouncing ball, the swinging pendulum, the rolling can
What is Why Some Things Stop and Others Keep Going?
Speed and Mass
What is Kinetic Energy?
Turning off lights or unplugging electronics when they aren't being used
What is conserving energy?
A natural source of energy that can make things happen
What is Light Energy?
What is Chemical Energy into TE into KE (of water molecules) into TE (of water)?
Gravitational Energy is transformed to Kinetic Energy and back to Gravitational, with some energy transferred as sound energy to the surrounding air molecules.
What is a pendulum?
Elevation and Mass
What is Gravitational Energy?
This is a change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances with different properties.
Closed circuits with power sources
What is Electrical Energy?
A solar powered traffic light
What is Light Energy into Electrical Energy?
Kinetic Energy is transformed into Elastic Energy and back to Kinetic Energy, with some Sound Energy Transferred to the surroundings.
What is a rolling can?
Deformation (compression) and rigidity
What is Elastic Energy?
This is the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element.
What is an atom?
Atomic nuclei spitting or combining (Hint: Fall Out IFYKYK)
What is Nuclear Energy?
A can is dropped from a height of 42 cm and lands on a ball of clay, squishing the ball of clay.
What is GE to KE to Elastic Energy?
Gravitational Energy decreases as the object gains Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is transformed into Elastic Energy and back into Kinetic Energy with the Gravitational Energy Increasing.
What is a bouncing ball?
Temperature and Mass
What is Thermal Energy?
The law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
A roller coaster at the top of a hill
What is Gravitational Energy?
a Jupiter Pendulum has a battery that provides electrical energy to replace the energy lost to the surrounding air molecules.
Light Energy is transformed into Chemical Energy through a process in which plants produce glucose and oxygen.
What is Photosynthesis?
Mass and type of substance
What is Chemical Energy?
The point at which a solid changes to a liquid
What is melting point?
