Gravitational Potential Energy
What are the two factors that change GPE?
Distance and mass
Two types of potential energy that increase when shape is changed.
What is elastic and chemical?
An area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.
What is a magnetic field?
The position and magnitude of charges relative to each other.
What is electrical potential energy?
This type of potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds that hold atoms together.
What is chemical potential energy?
Which graph shows the energy of a bouncy ball just before it hits the ground?
A
Energy stored in an object that can be stretched or compressed.
What is elastic potential energy?
The law that states "like poles repel each other, unlike poles attract each other."
What is the law of magnetic poles?
This is what two like charges do.
What is repel each other?
Chemical potential energy is higher in these types of molecules.
What is larger and more complex?
This happens to gravitational potential energy when an object is raised higher.
What is gravitational potential energy increases.
Compressed or stretched: At which point would a spring have the most elastic potential energy?
When it is compressed
Spinning molten iron and nickel in the outer core produce this.
What is Earth's magnetosphere?
The direction electric field lines point.
What is the direction a positive charge would move?
Products and reactants are used in a chemical reaction. Which has less chemical potential energy AFTER a chemical reaction?
What are reactants?
Energy stored due to an objects position above the Earth's surface.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Compressed or stretched: At which point does a rubber band have the most elastic potential energy?
When it is stretched
How you increase magnetic potential energy.
What is push two like poles together or pull two unlike poles apart?
These two things give objects higher electrical potential energy.
What is distance and magnitude?
Chemical reactions that release heat.
What are exothermic reactions?
What happens to an object's gravitational potential energy as it falls?
Gravitational potential energy decreases. (Transformed into kinetic energy.)
This word is used to describe an object that returns to its original shape.
What is elastic?
Where magnetic fields are the strongest.
What is at the poles and where field lines are closest together?
Law that states the closer together two electrical charges are, the stronger the force between them.
What is Coulomb's law?
An example of chemical potential energy.
Plant turning sunlight to energy for growth.
Digestion of food.
Wood burning.
Etc.
