Forms of Energy
Energy that is stored.
What is potential energy?
Potential Energy is stored energy resulting from an object’s _________ or _______________.
What is shape and position?
The type of energy transformation that happens with a windmill.
What is mechanical to electrical?
This happens to kinetic energy as speed increases.
What is increases?
Energy that is found in rubber bands.
What is elastic potential energy?
Kinetic energy is dependent upon this.
What is mass and speed?
In this type of energy transformation, a student notices that every time the button for the doorbell is pressed, the doorbell rings. As soon as the button is released, the doorbell stops ringing.
What is electric to sound?
Describe the PE and KE of a cart at the top of a hill, at the bottom of a hill, and halfway up the next hill using percents.
What is 100%PE/0% KE, 0%PE/100%KE, and 50% KE/50%PE
A full grocery cart and an empty grocery cart are rolling at the same speed. Which cart has the most kinetic energy?
The full cart.
Energy that is carried by a flow of charged particles.
What is electrical energy?
When greater force is applied, this type of energy increases.
What is Kinetic?
This is the type of energy transformation that takes place between a battery and a light bulb.
What is chemical to electrical to light?
This is how energy is transfered by a waterfall.
What is, potential energy decreases, while kinetic energy increases?
The Law of Conservation of Energy states this.
Energy carried by matter that increases as temperature increases.
What is thermal energy?
This describes the relationship between kinetic energy and speed.
What is as speed increases, kinetic energy increases?
The energy transformation that occurs when you hit the button on a blender.
What is electrical to mechanical?
This is the position in which a basketball has the most potential energy in it's arc.
What is the center most position?
The two factors that affect potential energy.
What are height and mass?
Energy stored in the nucleus (center) of an atom that can be released when the atom splits (fission) or is combined with another atom (fusion)
What is nuclear energy?
Capripecorino is moving a vase from the counter to the top shelf. These are the 2 factors he needs to know to estimate PE.
What is mass and height?
This is the energy transformation that happens when you open the fridge, take out an orange and eat a slice for your body to digest.
What is potential->kinetic->chemical?
A skier's kinetic energy will be greatest here.
What is at the bottom of the hill?
Jolene notices when she is driving the bus at a slower speed the bus stops more quickly but when she moves at a faster speed it takes more time to stop. This is explained by....
What is the bus has more kinetic energy at higher speeds?
