|
||||
| List all of the renewable resources. | - solar energy (sun)
- wind

🗑
|
||||
| What is petroleum used for? | It is a fossil fuel used to create gasoline, wax, and chapstick (gross).
🗑
|
||||
| What is the most popular use for coal? | Coal is most commonly used to generate electricity. The fossil fuel is burned to heat water, create steam, and turn a turbine to generate electricity.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an energy resource? | A natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work.
OR
how we obtain energy
🗑
|
||||
| What is the source responsible for most other energy resources? | The sun.
🗑
|
||||
| State the law of conservation of energy. | Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
🗑
|
||||
| Be able to identify the seven forms of energy in a real world example. For example, list the energy transformation in a no battery flashlight. | Chemical (humans breaking chemical bonds from food) to mechanical (hand movement) to mechanical (lever turning gears) to electrical (electrons moving through wires) to radiant (light), thermal (heat from light and friction), and sound (lever clicking)
🗑
|
||||
| What is friction? | The property that causes objects to resist being moved across each other.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the four factors of friction? | 1. soft or hard material
2. small or large surface
3. rough or smooth surface
4. high or low pressure
🗑
|
||||
| What does friction produce? | Heat or thermal energy
🗑
|
||||
| What is a closed system? | A group of objects that only transfer energy to each other. The energy remains constant (the same) within the system.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an open system? | A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an energy transfer? | Energy is going from one form to another.
🗑
|
||||
| What is energy efficiency? | A comparison of the amount of energy before conversions with the amount of useful energy after the conversion.
🗑
|
||||
| If something is said to be energy efficient, what does that mean? | There is a relatively small amount of energy being wasted (nothing can ever be 100% efficient).
🗑
|
||||
| If something is said to NOT be energy efficient, what does that mean? | There is a large amount of energy being wasted.
🗑
|
||||
| If you were on a roller coaster, where would you experience the greatest potential energy? Why? | The greatest potential energy would be at the highest point because gravity will pull the roller coaster down with a greater force.
🗑
|
||||
| What happens to the energy throughout your ride on the roller coaster? Why? | The energy becomes less because energy is used to overcome friction.
