Types of Energy
Fossil fuels are a major source of energy, name an example of a fossil fuel.
What is oil, coal, or natural gas
What are the three methods that heat is transferred?
What is conduction, convection, and radiation?
Explain the mechanical energy transfer of a roller coaster at the top of a hill and then going down the hill.
What is at the TOP of the hill it will have POTENTIAL and then as it goes down it will eventually lose more and more of its potential and gain more and more KINETIC.
Heat energy is the __________________ of the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
What is sum/total/amount/etc.?
An instrument making noise would be an example of this energy.
What is sound energy?
If you hold an ice cube in your hand the ice cube’s particles will speed up because energy in the form of ________________ is transferred from your body to the ice cube.
What is heat?
A toaster uses these TWO types of energy.
What is electrical and heat?
Name two objects and tell the class which one has more heat energy and why.
The less thermal energy object should be smaller and “colder” than the object that has more thermal energy (ie: pencil (low) and person (high).
The sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
If you put a metal spoon into warm soup the spoon will become warm especially because it is a good ________________.
What is conductor?
Name an example of an object that has potential energy
Heat energy is often recorded as (a name we sometimes mistakenly called heat)
What is Temperature
Turning on a lightbulb is an example of these two types of energy.
What is electrical and light energy?
If you have a ball on a compressed spring and then release it what type of energy describes the entire process?
Mechanical energy
A car uses _________________ energy when the gasoline is used to make the engine go just as we eat food to make us move.
What is chemical energy?
Energy, in the form of heat, is transferred from objects with a 1) __________________ temperature to objects with a 2) _____________________ temperature.
What is WARMER/HIGHER to COLDER/LOWER?
This type of energy occurs when you eat or drink something
What is chemical energy?
Temperature can be measured two ways, what are they?
What is Fahrenheit and Celcius?
What three or four types of energy are involved with turning on a flashlight? Step by Step: Turning it on? Battery? It actually turning on? The light bulb being on?
What is Mechanical (humans moving to press the power button) to Chemical (the battery releases chemical energy) to Electrical/Electromagnetic (the process of it turning on) to Light (the purpose of the flashlight)..it may also produce some unusable energy in the form of heat.
What is rubber
