What are the two most common types of Potential energy?
Gravitational and elastic.
What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?
energy in motion and stored energy
Which form of energy explains why solids have to be touched in order to get energy transfer in the form of heat.
conduction. The solids must be in physical contact.
What precipitation falls to the ground frozen.
snow or hail.
another name for wave energy
electromagnetic energy
What is the energy transformation in the Human body?
Chemical->Heat
Chemical -> mechanical
The type of energy transfer happens in waves or currents. It also only takes place in liquids and gas.
convection.
Which factor does not affect the elastic energy of an object: Mass, Hardness, stretchiness, and compression?
mass
What happens to the molecules when energy is transferred?
the molecules collide.
How are radiation, thermal energy, and electromagnetic related?
Radiation gives off thermal energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is the formula for Potential energy?
PE= MGH
Mass times Height times Gravity
What about the particles of a liquid and gas aid in convection?
because the particles in a liquid and solid are bouncing separately and widely, it is easier for the thermal energy to transfer in currents (the same motion as the particles).
Susan claims that the sailboat’s motion is based on kinetic energy being transferred to the sailboat and that the motion of the sailboat is impacted by the kinetic energy that is added or removed from the sailboat. Which three statements best support Susan’s claim?
B, D, E
What is the energy transformation in a windmill?
mechanical -> electrical
