Potential
What is potential energy?
Stored Energy
What is kinetic energy?
energy in motion
What is thermal energy?
heat is thermal energy it can be transferred from one place by one place to another
What is the energy transformation in a flashlight?
Chemical->Electrical->Heat and Light
Wind turbines convert _________________ energy into eletrical energy.
What is kinetic
What is an example of Potential Energy?
Roller Coaster sitting on top of a hill
What is an example of kinetic energy?
a car rolling down a hill
What is the difference between potential and kinetic?
Potential energy is energy waiting to go into motion. Kinetic energy is energy in motion.
What is the energy transformation in the Human body?
Chemical->Kinetic->Heat
Hydroelectricity can generate electricity because of the initial _______________________ energy of the water.
What is potential
What is a way to change GPE?
place object at higher area or lower.
What happens when the objects collide?
When is kinetic energy transferred from object to object?
which law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
law of energy of conservation
What is the energy transformation in a candle?
Chemical->Thermal, Chemical, and Radiant
Wind energy, coal energy, nuclear energy, ethanol energy, hydroelectric energy and solar energy all are used to make electricity. However, solar energy is different, what do all the other energy sources do that solar energy does not?
What is Turn a turbine that turns a generator to make electricity.
Name three types of potential energy.
gravitational, chemical, elastic
Kinetic energy decreases as _________+ _________decreases?
What is mass and speed?
Bonus:
1 =Type of energy that depends on the flow of electrons.
2 =Type of energy that depends on the speed of molecules.
1= Electrical
2 =Thermal
What is the energy transformation in a campfire? Provide 3 outcomes.
Chemical->Heat, sound, and Light
Explain hydroelectric energy and give one advantage and one disadvantage.
What is hydroelectric energy is using the potential energy of water and turning it into electrical energy. One advantage is it does not pollute. One disadvantage is that it disrupts aquatic life, reduced energy if drought, structural support.
How does a pendulum represent potential energy?
when it goes up it has potential energy
What is how does a pendulum represent potential to kinetic energy?
Because when it is at its highest point then it is potential energy and when it rolls down to its lowest point it is kinetic energy.
Name 10 types of energy.
Kinetic, Potential, Light, Heat, Chemical, Sound, Mechanical, Elastic, Nuclear, and Electrical
What is the energy transformation in a windmill?
Name 2 outcomes.
Kinetic->Electrical and Mechanical
Explain how nuclear energy is used to create electricity and give one advantage and one disadvantage.
What is Uranium atoms are split and heat is released to boil water. The boiling water creates steam. The steam turns a turbine and the turbine tunrs a generator, which makes a flow of electrons. One advantage is that is does not pollute the air. One disadvantage is that is makes radioactive waste.
