Name FIVE energy transformations that occur in a car. EXPLAIN
What is CHEMICAL (GAS) ---> ELECTRIC (BATTERY) --> MECHANICAL (MOVEMENT) ---> RADIANT ENERGY (EXHAUST / LIGHTS) ---> THERMAL ENERGY
400
A car that has a mass of 200kg is going 30mph and a car that has a mass of 400kg is going 30mph. Which has more kinetic energy. EXPLAIN.
What is 400kg car because it has more mass and kinetic energy depends on mass and speed.
400
Scientists sometimes refer to thermal energy as what
What is WASTE ENERGY.
500
Energy that travels through electromagnetic waves
What is RADIANT ENERGY
500
Name the FOUR types of energy a space heater has.
What is ELECTRIC, RADIANT, SOUND, THERMAL
500
Name FIVE energy transformations that can occur with a wind mill. EXPLAIN
What is POTENTIAL (TO MOVE) --> KINETIC (WIND) --> MECHANICAL (MOVEMENT OF MILL) --> SOUND --> THERMAL (WHERE IT IS SPINNING)
500
Where on a roller coaster would you have the most kinetic energy? Why? Where would you have the most potential energy? EXPLAIN.
What is At the bottom of a hill you would have the most KE because you are going the fastest and KE depends on speed. You would have the most PE at the top of a hill/ the highest point because PE depends on height.
500
What does the law of conversation of energy state?
What is energy can be transferred or transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
