What is energy?
100
A hair dryer transforms this energy to sound and thermal energy.
What is electrical energy?
100
Energy used when riding a bike.
What is kinetic energy?
100
This law states that energy can not be created or destroyed, only changed into a different form of energy.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
100
It is the law of conservation of energy.
What is energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed or transferred?
200
Type of energy that comes from charged particles carried in an electric current.
What is electric energy?
200
A fan converts electrical energy to this.
What is mechanical and sound energy?
200
This form of energy cooks food in boiling water.
What is kinetic energy?
200

What is at the bottom of a hill (going down)?
200
This is what happens to the amount of energy if the mass is cut in half.
What is the energy is cut in half?
300
Energy from the total kinetic energy of the moving particles in an object.
What is thermal energy?
300
A hamburger contains this form of energy, which is converted to mechanical energy in your body.
What is chemical energy?
300
This type of energy is found in food.
What is potential energy?
300
This is how a roller coaster could gain potential energy.
What is go higher (up a hill)?
300
This is what happens to kinetic energy if the speed is cut in half.
What is the kinetic energy will be reduced by 1/4 (4 times less energy)?
400
This type of energy is stored in the nuclei of atoms.
What is nuclear (or atomic) energy?
400

What is mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and/or thermal energy?
400
This is stored energy in a rubber band.
What is elastic potential energy?
400
This happens to the amounts of potential and kinetic energy as a ball rolls down a ramp.
What is potential energy is converted to kinetic energy?
400
This would have a linear relationship with energy.
What is mass?
500
The unit of measurement for energy.
What are Joules?
500
Two forms of energy transferred from the nuclear energy in the sun.
What is electromagnetic and thermal energy?
500
This type of energy is caused an object's position or height.
What is gravitational potential energy?
500

What is (any animal with less mass than a cheetah)?
500
This would have a nonlinear relationship with energy.
What is speed?
