Energy Basics
This is the ability to do work.
What is energy?
What is kinetic energy?
What is electrical energy?
This is the product of a force and the distance the object moves.
What is work?
This simple machine consists of two inclined plants that work when they move.
What is a wedge?
These are the two types of energy.
What is kinetic and potential energy?
Potential energy is energy stored as a result of this.
What is position or shape?
This type of energy is a form of mechanical energy carried by sound waves.
What is sound energy?
This scientist developed a theory of special relativity that says when matter is destroyed, energy is released; and matter can be created from energy.
Who is Albert Einstein?
What is wheel and axle?
This is what the "m" stand for in the equation Kinetic Energy (KE)= 1/2 x m x v (squared).
What is mass?
A diver who climbed a ladder to the diving board is an example of this kind of potential energy.
What is gravitational potential energy?
This type of energy is the total kinetic energy of the moving atoms and molecules of an object.
What is thermal energy?
In science, this is the amount of work done each second.
What is power?
Skateboarders would probably use this type of simple machine.
What is an inclined plane?
This is what the "g" stands for in the equation Potential Energy (PE) = m x g x h.
What is gravity?
A boy who has pulled the string back on a bow is an example of this kind of potential energy.
What is elastic potential energy?
This type of energy is the sum of an object's potential energy and kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Who is James Watt?
A hammer is an example of this simple machine.
What is a lever?
This SI unit for measuring energy is equal to a newton x meter.
What is a joule (J)?
Doing multiple trials and averaging measurements helps to reduce this.
The law of conservation of energy can be defined as this.
What is energy cannot be created or destroyed (it can only be converted from one form to another or transferred from one object to another)?
This is the term James Watt used to describe the amount of power his steam engine could produce.
What is horsepower?
If a screw has its thread closer together you need to apply this much force (more or less) in order for it to penetrate the wood.
What is less?
