100

The amount of space an object takes up. (Basically it's weight, but regardless of gravity).

What is mass?

100

When stored energy begins to move what is happening?

Potential energy is moved to Kinetic energy.

100

What are the two types of energy.

Kinetic or Potential

100
In calculating PE, and KE energy problems, what unit is used for height?
meters
100
What is energy?
The ability to do work.
200

How fast an object is traveling.

What is velocity?

200

What does Kinetic Energy depend on?

Velocity and Mass

200

What is energy stored due to position or shape.

Potential Energy

200
In calculting PE and KE problems, what unit is mass?
Kilogram
200
Why do you come back down when you jump into the air?
Gravity!
300

What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is motion. Potential energy is stored energy due to it's position (height).

300

Which affects kinetic energy more? Mass or Velocity?

Velocity has more of an affect on kinetic energy

300

What is potential energy that depends upon an objects height above a reference point

Gravitational Potential Energy

300
In calculating KE and PE problems, what unit is velocity?
m/s
300

What are the two types of potential energy

Gravitation and Potential

400

The force that pulls us towards the ground. 9.8 m/s2

What is gravity?

400

Give me an example of Kinetic Energy?

(can be different fastest answer wins)

400

What does Potential Energy depend on?

Height and Mass

400
What is the unit for Kinetic Energy?
Joules (or newton meter)
400

What is one of the 3 forms of kinetic energy.

Motion (mechanical), heat (thermal), sound, light (radiant), electrical

500

What is height and how is it measured scientifically?

How high, or tall something is, measured in meters.

500

Give me an example of elastic potential enrgy?

(can be different fastest answer wins)

500

What is the potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed.

Elastic Potential Energy

500
What unit is used for Potential Energy?
Joules (or newton meter)
500
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created nor destryoed, only changed in form.
