McCormack - Energy

QuestionAnswer
The ability to cause change or do work Energy
Physics is the study of the interaction of energy and __________ Matter
The radiant form of energy that travels in waves through space. Electro Manetic
The form of energy in moving objects. Mechanical
A form of energy that is stored in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear
The flow of electrons through a conductor. Electrical
A form of energy stored in the bonds holding atoms together. Chemical
A form of energy associated with heat. Thermal
Total Mechanical Energy is equal to PE + KE
ME = PE + KE, If PE increases then KE will? Decrease
ME = PE + KE, If KE increase then PE will? Decrease
Potential Energy is directly related to? mass , gravity & height
Kinetic Energy is directly related to? mass & velocity (speed)
Stored energy is Potential Energy
Moving energy is Kinetic Energy
Acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2
The formula for work is Work = Force (F) x Distance (D)
Work & Energy are both measured in Joules (J)
What variable, mass or velocity, has a bigger impact on Kinetic Energy & why. Velocity because it is squared (v^2)
In a pendulum, the maximum KE is at the ___ (top or bottom)of the swing? Bottom of the swing
In a pendulum, the maximum PE is at the ___ (top or bottom) of the swing? Top of the swing
A bowling ball & soccer ball are dropped at the same heigth. Which will hit first? They both hit at the same time
The transformation of energy in a light bulb is _________ to ____________ Electric to Electro Magnetic (light)
The transformation of energy from the sun to the apple is _____ to _____ to _______ Nuclear to Electro Magnetic to Chemical
The transformation of energy in a curling iron is ___________ to ____________ Electric to Thermal
A gas engine starts with ___________ and ends with _____________ energy. Chemical & Mechanical
Some forms of energy that are wasted in a gas engine are ________& ________ Thermal & Sound,
The efficiency of a gas engine is about? 30%
Friction always creates a loss of energy in the form of ______________ ________________. Thermal Energy
Energy is never destroyed, but can be ___________ from one form to another. Transformed
Can you have gravitional potiential engery?_____? Why? No, because there is no gravity
An object traveling in space will not stop on its own since there is not _________ in space. Friction
What is the KE of an object at rest? None since velocity is zero
How can a small object like a bullet have so much energy? Velocity is high
As a pendulum moves from the top of the swing to the bottom,PE is ______ while KE is ______ decreasing, Increasing
If PE is decreasing and KE is increasing this relationship is considered (Direct/Indirect)? Indirect
As a pendulum moves back and forth, some energy is lost due to _____________. Friction
Can energy be destroyed during a nuclear explosion? No, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, But can be converted into energy.
At what degree is melting point and freezing point of water? 0 degrees C.
At what degree is boiling point and condensing point of water? 100 degrees C.
Can energy be created or destroyed? No

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
