The place where nuclear energy is stored

Inside an atom or in the nucleus of an atom

200

Guitars turn ______ energy into ______ energy.

Mechanical; sound

200

Renewable

200

The units for work is _______ and power is ______.

When does the ball no longer have potential energy?


Point D

300

State the definition of renewable and non-renewable resources.

Renewable is any type of energy that comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished.
Non-renewable energy is any type of energy that comes from a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed.

Go through each point on this figure and tell me whether potential or kinetic energy is greater. Example: Point A has greater potential energy, etc.


Point A has greater potential energy, point B has greater kinetic energy, point C has greater kinetic energy, point D has greater potential energy, point B has greater kinetic energy, and point D has greater potential energy.
