Energy
Energy is the ability to do this.
work
This is the formula mechanical energy.
potential energy + kinetic energy
When a ball at rest is rolled down a ramp, the ball's potential energy converts to this.
kinetic energy
Coal, natural gas, and oil are examples of this type of energy source.
nonrenewable
This is the nonrenewable energy source that cars currently burn.
oil
Work is a transfer of this.
energy
This is the formula for potential energy.
weight x height
This is where plants get their energy.
sun
This energy source is replaced at a faster rate than it is used.
renewable energy
True or False: There is no gravity in space.
false
This is the energy of motion.
kinetic energy
This is the formula for kinetic energy.
mv^2/2
This is where humans get our energy.
food
This renewable energy source collects light from the sun and turns it into electrical energy.
solar energy
This California car company makes fully electric cars.
Tesla
This is the energy of position.
potential energy
Mass or speed: this places a larger role in kinetic energy.
speed
When an object generates friction with a surface, this type of energy is released.
thermal energy
Solar, geothermal, and wind are examples of this type of energy source.
renewable energy
This is the capital of Tennessee.
Nashville
This is the total kinetic and potential energy an object has.
mechanical energy
An object has a mechanical energy of 100J and potential energy of 54J. This is the object's kinetic energy.
46J
This law states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
the Law of Conservation of Energy
This type of energy source is finite and will run out some day.
nonrenewable energy
This is the process that creates energy on the sun.
nuclear fusion
