Let's Get Physical!
The scientist who discovered the Three Laws of Motion (and a few other very important scientific principles)
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
The word used to describe a form of motion energy in science
What is kinetic?
The energy of an object's position or shape
What is potential energy?
Energy that moves through air or space
What is radiation?
The "blanket" of gases that covers the Earth's surface; where weather happens
What is the atmosphere?
The ability to do work
What is energy?
When one form of energy changes into another
What is energy transfer?
The energy of something in compression or deformation
What is elastic potential energy?
Air molecules do this over heat sources
What is rise?
Forms when water vapor condenses into water droplets in the atmosphere
What is a cloud?
A object will remain at rest unless
What is "acted upon by a force?"
What KE can convert into as an object bounces up off the ground
What is potential energy
The percentage of potential energy that a pendulum has at the bottom of its swing
What is zero percent?
Heat energy moving in a cycle due to temperature and pressure differences
What is convection?
What is happening to carbon dioxide levels as human population on Earth increases
What is increases?
Force = mass times acceleration
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The percentage of KE that a pendulum has at the bottom of its swing
What is 100 percent?
When large air masses move from high density and pressure areas to low density and pressure areas
What is wind?
Two gases that are very good at absorbing heat in our atmosphere
What are carbon dioxide and methane?
According the Newton's Third Law of Motion, if you kick a ball with a force, the ball will...
What is "kick you back with an equal and opposite force?"
The kinetic energy of a 2 kg dog running at 4 m/s
What is 16 joules?
The potential energy of a 5 kg leopard sitting at the top of a 5 meter tree
What is 250 joules?
Heavy condensation that gravity brings down to the Earth's surface
What is precipitation?
Solar power, geothermal energy, biomass energy, wind power, and more
What are renewable energy sources?
