100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
The energy carried by an object moving from one place to another (specific type -- not just kinetic).
What is mechanical (motion) energy?
100
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to thermal energy.
What is a toaster (or coffee pot, griddle*)? (Must be a device that uses electricity specifically to produce heat)
100
The formula used to calculate potential energy when only given the height and mass of an object.
What is P.E. = m * g * h
100
This is what happens to energy when it is used.
What is energy transformation/transfer?
200
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
The energy carried by the movement of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
200
This is an example of mechanical energy being changed into electrical energy.
What is a wind turbine (windmill)?
200
The SI unit for power.
What is watts?
200
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it changes form.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
300
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
The energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
300
The SI unit for mass.
What is kilogram?
300
This is where a roller coaster cart has the most potential energy.
What is at the highest point?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
The energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of an object that changes radiant energy into electrical energy.
What are solar panels?
400
An object at a height of 10 m with a weight of 40 N has this much potential energy.
What is 400 J?
400
These are two main forms of energy.
What are potential energy and kinetic energy?
500
The amount of time needed for work to be completed.
What is power?
500
The energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal (heat) energy?
500
This is an example of an object that changes chemical energy into thermal energy, then into mechanical energy.
What is a car/automobile?
500
A car that weighs 1500 is moving at a speed of 2.5 m/s has this much kinetic energy.
What is 4687.5 J?
500
The relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy can be described as ________
What is inverse/opposite?
