What is 3,264 J?

100

This is the gravitational acceleration constant on Earth. 

What is 9.8 m/s2

200

This is the rate at which work is done. 

What is Power? 

200

KE of moving electrical particles

What is Electrical Energy? 

200

Describe the energy transfer in the picture below.

200

A vase sits on a shelf 4.5 meters above the ground. The vase is composed of 30 kg of glass. This is its gravitational potential energy?

What is 1,323 J?

200

This is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy. 

What is GPE = height x gravitational acceleration x mass? 

300

Energy can never be created nor destroyed, only converted into other forms. (Also widely called the 1st law of Thermodynamics). 

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? 

300

Energy released from the nucleus of an atom.

What is Nuclear Energy? 

300

Describe the energy transfer in the picture below. 

What is Potential Chemical to Kinetic to Sound?

300

This is how much work a 85 kg basketball player exerts onto a basketball when he shoots it 8 meters with a force of 100 N toward the goal. 

What is 800 J? 

300

This is the formula for solving Kinetic Energy.

What is KE = (0.5) x mass x velocity squared? 

400

This is the amount of energy transferred to an object when a force is exerted on it. 

What is Work? 

400

Total KE of all particles in an object often detected by our sensory receptors as heat. 

What is Thermal Energy? 

400

This is what is happening to the skater's energy at points 2 and 3. (Hint: think in terms of KE & GPE)


What is at point 2 he is moving so he has kinetic energy, but it slowly converts into GPE as he goes up. At point 3 he mostly has GPE as he is slowing down due to gravity?

DOUBLE JEOPARDY: This question is worth 1,000 points. 

An object weighs 14 kg and sits atop a 3 meter shelf. On the shelf it has a gravitational potential energy 412 J. When it has fallen exactly 1 meter, it then has a gravitational potential energy of 274 J. This is its Kinetic Energy as it has fallen exactly 1 meter. 

What is 138 J?

500
This is the formula to solve for Power.
