point C
Define potential energy
stored energy
Unlike potential energy, kinetic energy ______ as an object moves faster.
increases
According to the diagram shown, at what point would the roller coaster have the GREATEST kinetic energy?
5
Define kinetic energy
energy of motion
Ben is at an amusement park with his family. He is watching a roller coaster as it begins from rest at the top of the hill and then rushes downward, building speed. Describe the roller coaster's energy as it moves along its route. (how is energy transformed)
The roller coaster's potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
Which type of wave is represented by Model A
transverse wave
What happens to kinetic energy as potential energy INCREASES
kinetic energy DECREASES
Diagram # 6: Organize the points of POTENTIAL ENERGY from GREATEST TO LEAST.
A, E, G, I, M
Which type of wave is represented by model B
Longitudinal wave
Describe the energy changes occurring when you turn on a battery-powered flashlight:
______energy -> _______ energy -> ____ & heat
Chemical energy -> electrical energy -> light & heat
What object has the GREATEST kinetic energy?
the arrow
Describe the Law of Conservation of Energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only transformed
Describe how the Law of Conservation of Energy relates to photosynthesis
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only transformed. The sun provides light energy to the plants who convert the energy to chemical energy.
