Energy

General Information

100

This is the measurement unit of energy...

What is joules?

200

This is the definition of Energy...

What is the ability to cause change or do work?

300

These are the six main types of energy...

What is electrical, chemical, radiant, thermal, kinetic, and potential energy?

400

These are examples of radiant energy...

What is sunlight, xrays, gamma rays, UV rays, and radio waves?

500

This is where chemical energy comes from...

What is released from chemical reactions in bonds

Thermodynamics

100

This is the Earth's primary energy source...

What is the Sun?

200

This is the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and an example...

What is Energy CANNOT be created or destroyed? (ex. Photosynthesis)

300

This is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and an example...

What is Energy becomes less useful when it changes form? (ex. food chains)

400

This kind of reaction cannot destroy or create energy...

What is ordinary reactions?

500

These are some exceptions to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics...

What is Fusion, Fission or nuclear reactions?

Miscellaneous

100

This is a pro to Fracking...

What is cuts down greenhouse gas emissions, helps boost the economy, or natural gas can give stable energy for a long period of time?

200

This is a con to Fracking...

What is many additives are toxic, not enough research to prove safety/benefits, or fracking fluids contaminate groundwater?

300

This is the definition of a joule...

What is the amount of work done on a body by 1 Newton force that moves the body over a distance of 1 meter?

400

This is the definition of Thermal energy...

What is Heat or how active atoms are?

500

This is the Law of Conservation of Energy...

What is Energy can change forms, but the total amount of energy never changes?

Pros/cons of Energy Sources

100

This energy source involves splitting atoms of Uranium...

What is nuclear energy?

200

This energy source gives off the most greenhouse emissions...

What is coal?

300

This type of energy source gives off EDC's which causes birth defects in animals and humans...

What is Natural gas? (fracking)

400

This is a pro to nuclear power...

What is it give off the least amount of GH emissions, uses up less land for the power plants, etc?

500

Which energy source is used mostly in the Southern part of Minnesota?

What is wind energy?

Potential/Kinetic Energy

100

This is the definition of Kinetic energy...

What is a moving object's energy?

200

This is the definition of potential energy...

What is stored energy due to interactions between objects?

300

These are the 3 types of potential energy...

What is gravitational, elastic, and chemical energy?

400

This is gravitational and kinetic energy equations...

What is ~Gravitational (mass x gravity x height) ~Kinetic (1/2mass x speed²)

500

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 2,000 kilogram boat moving at a speed of 5 m/sec...

What is 25,000 joules?
