100

This energy storage mode increases when you stretch and object (like a rubber band)

What is Potential Energy stored Elastically? 

100

A person jumps from a height of 10 m into a pool below. At the top of the jump this person is storing ______

What is gravitational potential energy? 

100

A transfer of energy with no transfer of mass or matter

What is a wave? 

100

These two things do NOT affect the speed of a wave

What are frequency and amplitude?

100

Smartphones, laptop computers, and gaming consoles are all examples of devices that use this storage of information

What is digital storage? 

200

These are the two ways you can increase the amount of kinetic energy stored in an object. 

What are changing its mass and speed (how fast its moving)? 

200

The m in GPE = mgh stands for this. 

The g in GPE = mgh stands for this.

The h in GPE = mgh stands for this.

What is mass?

What is acceleration due to gravity?

What is height?

200

This is the part of the wave that determines the loudness of sound and the brightness of light.

What is Amplitude?

200

This equation helps you solve for the speed of a wave. 

What is v = fλ

200

This signal is a continuous wave. It is easily susceptible to noise. 

What is an analog signal? 

300

These are all 4 of the different forms potential energy can be stored.

What are gravitationally? Chemically? Elastically? And electrically? 

300

The number that you substitute in for g (acceleration due to gravity) in GPE = mgh is this. 

What is 10 m/s2

300

This is the part of the wave that determines the pitch of sound and the color of visible light.

What is Frequency?

300

A wave has a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of 9 Hz. This is the speed of the wave. 

What is 27m/s?

300

This EM wave has the lowest frequency on the EM Spectrum

What are Radio Waves?

400

"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change its forms" is the definition of this. 

What is conservation of energy? 

400

This is the energy stored in a 60.0-kg person when they jump onto the floor from a height of 3.00 m.

What is 1764 J? 

400

The phenomenon that occurs when objects begin to vibrate (oscillate) when the frequency of music matches the natural frequency of the object.

What is Resonance?

400

A wave has a speed of 30 m/s and a frequency of 6 Hz. Calculate its wavelength.

What is 5 m?

400

This EM wave is used to sterilize medical equipment and treat cancer by targeting and killing cancer cells. 

What are Gamma Rays? 

500

A ball rolls to a stop. The initial and final energy storage modes for the ball are this and that. 

What are kinetic energy stored in movement and dissipated energy stored thermally? 

500

This is the kinetic energy of a 625-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 18.3 m/s.

What is 104,653 J? 

500

This type of wave has two key elements, that when produced by an instruments create a pattern that has no amplitude and doubled amplitude

What are standing waves, nodes (no amplitude), and antinodes (max amplitude)?

500

Frequency is 200 Hz. This is the period. 

What is 0.005 seconds? 

500

This is known as the threshold, above which electromagnetic radiation is considered dangerous to humans because it can damage the DNA in our cells. 

What is ionizing radiation?
