Kinetic & Potential Energy
Energy 101
'I see the light!'
Can you hear me now?
How well do you know YOUR energy??
100
On a roller coaster, this has the most of this energy at the TOP of the hill
What is potential (energy)
100
Dentists use these to check for cavities
What are x-rays
100
A form of energy that uses waves to travel
What is radiant energy.
100
Energy of vibrations
What is sound (energy)
100
The ability to do work
What is energy
200
A car battery on a shelf in a store has this type of energy.
What is potential
200
The energy that radiant energy becomes when you use a solar-powered calculator
What is electrical energy
200
The sun produces this type of energy
What is radiant (energy)
200
Ringing a bell changes (a form of) energy into this form of energy
What is sound energy.
200
A push or a pull
What is a force
300
The energy an object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic (energy)
300
Normally, you cannot do this to energy. Well, you can't destroy it either.
What is 'create it'
300
The only radiant energy that you can see
What is visible light
300
The number of waves passing a point in one second
What is the frequency
300
This type of energy can be SEEN but NOT HEARD in space
What is sound energy
400
At the bottom of a hill, a roller coaster car has the least type of this energy
What is potential (energy)
400
The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
What is wavelength
400
The radiant energy rays measure/detect 'heat'
What are infrared rays
400
These animals make high-frequency sounds at night to help them 'see'.
What are bats
400
This type of energy is formed when atoms split
What is nuclear (energy)
500
As potential energy in a falling object begins to decrease
What is kinetic energy increases/accelerates
500
This is how potential energy can change to kinetic energy
What is to put a force on it, make it move, make it fall, or like on a roller coaster when it falls from the top of the hill and accelerates going down the hill
500
DOUBLE DOUBLE DOUBLE!!! Radiant energy can different in these types of ways. (Name 2 and double your points value)
What is wavelength of each differs and one type can be seen while the others cannot
500
They can only hear a limited range of sounds
What are people
500
States that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is The Law of Conservation of Energy
