Kinetic energy is the energy of _________.
Motion
Potential energy is _________ energy.
Stored
Type of energy stored in food, charcoal and batteries
Chemical Energy
What does the law of conservation of energy say?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Name the 3 types of heat transfer
conduction, convection, radiation
Kinetic energy has two variables that affect it.
mass and speed
Potential energy has two variables that affect it.
mass and height
Type of energy that depends on an object's height
Gravitational potential energy
What energy transformation do all three items have in common? (2 answers)
Electrical --> Thermal
Heat always transfers from ___________ to __________. (Must be in order to get credit)
cooler
The KE of an object increases as its _____ increases.
a. height
b. velocity/speed
c. gravity
b. velocity/speed
Which point has the most PE?
W
Type of energy formed by vibrating objects
Sound energy
You plug in a speaker to play music. What is the energy transformation? (2 answers)
Electrical --> Sound
This type of heat transfer involves direct contact and occurs most frequently in solids.
Conduction
At which point is KE the greatest?
X
What will happen to the total amount of PE at the point Y and why?
It will be less because the hill is not as high as the first.
The total amount of KE and PE in a system
Mechanical Energy
You put gas in your car then drive off. What is the energy transformation? (2 answers)
Chemical --> Mechanical
This type of heat transfer creates currents. It involves less dense particles rising and more dense particles sinking.
Convection
How would you increase the kinetic energy of an object? (There are two different ways)
Increase the height, so it starts with more PE
or
Increase the mass
When an object is dropped, what happens to its KE and PE?
a. KE and PE increases
b. KE decreases, PE increases
c. KE increases, PE decreases
c. KE increases, PE decreases
List all 5 types of kinetic energy
Sound, thermal, radiant, electromagnetic, electrical
When you work out, you sweat. What kind of energy transformation is happening? (2 answers)
Mechanical --> Thermal
This type of heat transfer does not require a medium for it to pass through. This space is called a vacuum. It is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
Radiation
List 3 types of energy in this picture with a short explanation.
electrical- charging phone
chemical- battery pack
electromagnetic- sending a text
radiant- light from phone
thermal- heat from phone
sound- sound from phone
Plants convert radiant energy from the sun into _____ energy during photosynthesis.
Chemical
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, just changed from one form to another.
