Types of Energy
Energy associated with moving objects
Kinetic Energy
During the Marble Lab, at which part of the track did the marble have kinetic energy
As it was moving down the track
The distance between peaks in a wave
Wavelength
oil spills, release of methane, cut off from foreign countries
Energy from waves such as light, radio, x-rays
Radiant / Electromagnetic Radiation
During the Marble Lab, at which point did the marble have potential energy
Right before you released it
The measure of how much matter there is in a given substance
Mass
Give one reason why the use of nuclear energy is controversial
waste produces is deadly, used by terrorists as nuclear weapon, failure of plant that could release radioactive material into the atmosphere
Energy an object has because of its height above ground
Gravitational Potential Energy
Explain how speed and weight affect the amount of Kinetic Energy
Increases in both speed and weight will lead to an increase in KE
All forms of energy are measured in what?
Joules
