| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| law of conservation of energy | states that when energy is transformed from energy to a other no energy is lost during the process |
| what causes a pendulum to eventually slow down and stop swinging? | gains more friction |
| why does wind have energy? | it has the potential to do work |
| what is the formula for finding mechanical energy | potential+kinetic energy |
| sound energy, nuclear energy,electrical energy,electromagnetic energy,and chemical energy are all forms of what | particles |
| an objects mechanical energy is the sum of what | the sum of kinetic and potential energy |
| gravitational potential energy is mesured in what SI unit | in joules and newtons |
| work | when you exert force on an object and makes it move |
| when you heat a pot of water on the stove, what form of energy is added to he water | thermal energy |
| the energy transformation that occurs on a digital clock is from electrical energy to what | Electromagnetic Energy |
| How do you determine an object’s mechanical energy? Could you find the mechanical energy of an object? | a combination of its potential energy and kinetic energy you can find find it by adding its kinetic energy and potential energy |
| Fusion reactions in the sun change nuclear energy into | heat and light_ |
| Determine which has more power, a handsaw or a chainsaw if the handsaw does the same amount of work on a log as a chainsaw does. Why? | chainsaw has more power because the engine has more potential energy than a human. |
| What is the formula for determining kinetic energy? can you solve for kinetic energy? | kinetic energy = ½ x mass x speed2 |
| f you had a graph like the one on page 175 showing the kinetic energy of a 500-N diver during a dive, could you determine how the diver’s kinetic energy changes as the diver falls? | yes because his kinetic energy is higher as the diver is higher off the ground. gravity also affects the kinetic energy, the higher the fall, the more gravitational force. |
