physical science energy review

QuestionAnswer
energy due to position or state potential energy (PE)
the total amount of potential and kinetic energy of a system; PE+KE Total Mechanical Energy (TME)
energy due to motion of object or atoms/particles kinetic energy (KE)
If two objects are moving with the same velocity, how would one object have greater kinetic energy? the object would have more mass
mass x g x height is the formula for what? gravitational potential energy (GPE)
1/2 x m x v^2 is the formula for what? kinetic energy (KE)
states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only transformed law of conservation of energy
what form of energy is stored in the bonds that hold atoms together? potential energy (chemical)
what form of energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom? potential energy (nuclear or atomic)
the ability to do work or cause change is what? energy
the movement of energy through matter in longitudinal waves is called what? kinetic energy (sound)
what is the natural FORCE that allows an object to have potential energy? gravity
an object has gravitational potential energy as a result of what TWO variables? mass and acceleration due to gravity (g)
does the GPE of a skier increase or decrease as they go down a mountain? the GPE decreases
when a person jumps on a trampoline, what is the point where potential energy is at its maximum at the top of the jump
what are the units for energy? Joules (J)
the energy in an object due electrical charges (to movement of electrons) kinetic energy (electrical)

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
