PE and KE

100

What type of potential energy is in a rubber band?

elastic

100

What energy transformation occurs when a battery-powered flashlight is turned on? list 2 

chemical to electrical

100

What 2 factors affect potential energy? (mass and...)

mass and height

100

The kinetic and potential energies of an object both always depend on which property? 

Mass

200

Which energy moves?

kinetic

200

What are at least 2 kinetic energies that are in a flash light?

heat

light

electrical

200

chemical to mechanical

200

What 2 factors affect kinetic energy?

mass and speed

200

What is the relationship between PE and KE ? 

Inverse relationship

300

Which energy stays in place, BUT can move if a force acts on it?

potential

300

List 4 kinetic energies

electrical 

thermal

radiant

sound

light

300

radiant to chemical to electrical to light

300

which has more potential? Why?

A because it is higher up which means when it falls it will have a lot of kinetic energy coming down

300

When a person holds an object, it has potential energy. How will the potential energy change if the person lifts the object above his or her head?

increases

400

What causes potential energy to become kinetic?

a force
400

List all the potential energies

elastic

gravity

chemical

nuclear


400

describe riding a bike (energy transformation)

(Don't forget she needs food)

chemical-mechanical-thermal-maybe sound

400

Where will the roller coaster be MOST KINETIC? EXPLAIN

X because it is when gravity has pulled it and its right before it hits the bottom where the force is acting the strongest

400

A student is conducting an investigation using rubber bands. She places a rubber band around her thumb and index finger, pulls back, releases the rubber band, and records how far the band travels. She repeats this method while changing the distance in the pullback between her thumb and finger. What is the student most likely studying? 

transformation between kinetic and potential energy

500

 How can Motion energy be both potential and kinetic?

motion can be potential because it doesn't move yet

motion can be kinetic when it is moving

500

Explain why sound is kinetic?

vibration motion of molecules

500

What is the one kinetic energy that shows in all transformations?

thermal

500

What should the roller coaster makers do to have the coaster be the FASTEST IN THE WORLD?

have a super tall hill
