Potential and Kinetic Energy
What is potential energy?
What is energy?
Energy is the ability to do work, or to move.
What is renewable energy?
A renewable resource is a resource that can be replace at the same rate it is being used
What is opaque?
Opaque is an object that does not allow light to pass through.
What is light energy?
Light energy is associated with visible light.
What is kinetic energy?
What is energy in motion?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed - it can only be transferred.
What is nonrenewable resource?
A nonrenewable resource is a resource that is being used up faster than it can be replaced
What is transparent?
A transparent object allows all light to pass through it.
What is sound energy?

What is kinetic energy?
What is an example of renewable energy?
What is wind, solar, and geothermal?
Translucent objects allow some light to pass through
What is magnetic energy?
Magnetic energy is energy within a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are the electrical charges around a magnet.
What are two things that affect kinetic energy?
What are mass and speed?
The apple high in the tree has more potential energy since it is higher up and has more gravity.
What are some examples of nonrenewable resources?
Examples of nonrenewable resources are: coal, oil and natural gas
A window is transparent, translucent or opaque?
What is transparent?
Why is our Earth a magnet?
Our Earth is a magnet due to the center (core) being molten iron.

What is potential, kinetic energy?
A bowling ball and ping pong ball are rolling at the same speed. Which one has more kinetic energy and why?
The bowling ball has more kinetic energy since it has more mass.
How can trees be both a renewable and a nonrenewable resource depending on the situation?
it all depends on if people are using the trees faster than they can grow back
A wall is transparent, translucent or opaque?
What is opaque?
