Question
Answer
energy: the ability to do ---   work  
🗑
work is a --- of energy   transfer  
🗑
what is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?   kinetic: energy of motion potential: energy because of position  
🗑
what is the formula for kinetic energy?   mv^2/2  
🗑
what does the v in the formula for kinetic energy mean?   speed  
🗑
what is the formula for GPE?   weight x height  
🗑
what is the height in the formula for GPE?   how far the object has to fall  
🗑
does the height affect the amount of GPE?   yes, it makes it greater  
🗑
what is the total energy of motion and position in an object?   mechanical energy  
🗑
formula for mechanical energy:   pontential energy + kinetic energy  
🗑
can mechanical energy change? (increase or decrease)   no  
🗑
can potential and kinetic energy change? (increase or decrease)   yes  
🗑
thermal energy   all of the kinetic energy due to random motion of the particles that make up an object  
🗑
faster moving particles = --- kinetic and thermal energy   greater  
🗑
chemical energy   energy of a compound that changes as its atoms are rearranged  
🗑
food is made of --- compounds   chemical  
🗑
electrical energy   energy of moving electrons  
🗑
sound energy   caused by objects vibrations  
🗑
light energy   produced by vibrations of electrically charged particles  
🗑
nuclear energy   energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
electrical energy is --- energy and sound energy is --- energy   potential, kinetic  
🗑
a change from one form of energy to another   energy conversion  
🗑
example of elastic potential energy   rubber band  
🗑
give an example of a conversion involving chemical energy   photosynthesis  
🗑
are energy conversions in everything we do?   yes  
🗑
--- help harness energy and make it work for you   machines  
🗑
a force that opposed motion between two surfaces thar are touching   friction  
🗑
in a --- system, energy is transferred only to each other   closed  
🗑
the total energy in a closed system ---   stays the same  
🗑
can energy change form one form to another?   yes  
🗑
why is prepetual motion impossible?   a little bit of the energy is converted into thermal energy each time  
🗑
comparison to the amount of energy before a conversion with the amount of useful energy after a conversion   energy efficency  
🗑
if something is more efficent, does it need more or less energy to operate?   less  
🗑
what are some examples of fossil fuels?   coal, oil, petroleum  
🗑
what are some examples of renewable resources?   water, solar,wind, geothermal, biomass, nuclear  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
