What type of energy does the slingshot have when you pull it back?

 

Elastic

100

What is an energy transfer?

When energy goes from one object to another

100

What is the energy transformation that occurs here?

gravitational to mechanical

100

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Movement of particles

200

What state of matter has the most thermal energy?


Gas

200

What type of energy do these objects have? 

Magnetic Energy

200

What is the energy transfer happening here? (what object to what object)

Energy is transferred from the bat to the ball.

200

What is the energy transformation that is occurring to turn this lamp on?

Electrical energy transformed to light energy
200

What does the graph of mass and kinetic energy look like? 


300

What is the difference between thermal energy and temperature? 

Thermal energy is the TOTAL kinetic energy of the particles in an object where temperature is the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

300

This is the type of energy when an object is in motion.

Mechanical Energy

300

What is the energy transfer happening here? 

From the person's foot to the soccer ball.

300

What is the energy transformation that occurs when plants perform photosynthesis?

Light energy to chemical energy
300

Does mass or speed have a greater effect on kinetic energy?


Speed

400

What is thermal equilibrium?

When two objects reach and EQUAL temperature and no longer share heat.
400
This type of energy is stored in the bonds between atoms of objects.

Chemical Energy

400
What are the 3 pieces of evidence that a kinetic energy transfer is occurring?

Motion, heat, sound

400

What is the energy transformation that occurs when someone eats food?


Chemical to mechanical

400

What does the graph of kinetic energy and speed look like?


500

Which has more thermal energy:

A small cup of water at 50 degrees C

OR

A large pot of water at 50 degrees C 

Explain why for full points.

The large pot of water because objects with more mass have more particles which means they have more total kinetic energy (thermal energy).

500

This type of energy is stored based on an object's position.

Gravitational Potential Energy.

What type of energy is being transferred in this image? 

Thermal energy

500

What is the energy transformation that happens with solar panels?

Light energy to electrical energy
500

At what point on a roller coaster is kinetic energy at its maximum?

The lowest point.
