Energy, Motion, Force and Work
A Push or a Pull
What is a Force?
What is Kinetic Energy?
Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
What is Mechanical Energy?
This Law states the energy cannot be created or destroeyd.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The ability to do work or cause change
What is Energy?
These are the two types of potential energy the depend on an object's position or shape.
What are Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy?
In this kind of nuclear reaction, an atom's nucleus is separated into two smaller nuclei.
What is nuclear fission?
Kinetic Energy turning into Potential Energy and back again, like when a pendulum is swinging back and forth, demonstrates this kind of change of energy.
What is energy transformation?
Force x Distance
What is Work?
This is the formula for calculating an object's Gravitational Potential Energy.
What is Weight x Distance from the Ground?
This kind of energy is the sum of all the kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object.
What is Thermal Energy?
Thermal Energy being conducted from one object to another is an example of this kind of energy change.
What is energy transfer?
The SI unit of measure for this is Watts
What is Power?
This word describes the relationship between an object's mass and its kinetic energy.
What is Proportional?
This kind of energy exists on a spectrum, and does not require a medium for transmission.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
This kind of energy transformation is diminished in places with thinner are, like Denver, CO, meaning baseballs and other flying objects can go farther than at sea-level where air is denser.
What is thermal energy? (I would also accept friction from contact with air particles)
Just because you're exerting force, it doesn't mean you're doing work. That's because work requires this.
What is movement in the direction of force?
These are the SI units of measure required to calculate gravitational potential energy.
What are Newtons and Meters?
We measure electricity in Watts because we can make this calculation.
What is Work / Time?
These are all the kinds of energy that chemical energy is converted to when something is set on fire.
What are thermal energy and electromagnetic radiation? (I will also accept kinetic energy as an acceptable addition to this list)
