Energy Basics
This is the simple definition of energy (hint: the ability to do _____)
What is work?
Energy that is in motion
What is Kinetic?
Heat always flows in this direction (from ______ to ______).
What is hot to cold?
This happens when two objects bump into each other.
What is Collision?
A stretched rubber band is holding this type of energy.
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy that is stored and waiting to be used.
What is potential energy?
Burning your hand by touching a hot pan is an example of this transfer.
What is conduction?
When two cars crash, we hear a loud "BANG" because some kinetic energy turned into this.
What is sound energy?
The force that pulls a skydiver toward the ground
What is gravity?
This is the ultimate source of almost all energy on Earth
What is the sun?
Between a ball on the ground and a ball on the roof, this one has more Gravitational Potential Energy.
What is the ball on the roof?
Feeling the warmth of a campfire without touching it is this type of transfer.
What is radiation?
If a fast-moving marble hits a still marble, the fast marble will do this.
What is slow down?
A battery contains this type of energy.
What is Chemical Energy?
When energy moves from one object to another, it is called this.
What is transfer?
If a bowling ball and a ping pong ball are at the same height, the bowling ball has more potential energy because it has more of this.
What is mass?
Warm air rising and cold air sinking creates this current.
What is Convection?
Rubbing your hands together quickly is a "collision" of skin that creates this type of energy.
What is thermal or heat Energy?
When you plug in a lamp, electrical energy turns into these two forms.
What are light and heat?
When energy changes from one form (like electrical) to another (like light), it is called this.
What is transformation?
At the very bottom of a rollercoaster hill, the car has the most of this type of energy.
What is Kinetic?
A material that lets heat move through it easily (like metal) is called this.
What is a conductor?
In a collision, the total amount of energy stays the same, even if it changes form. This proves this Law.
What is the Law of Conservation?
Food gives you chemical energy, which your body turns into this so you can run.
What is Kinetic energy?
