| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ability to do work and change matter | Energy |
| SI unit for measuring energy | Joule |
| 3 main forms of energy | kinetic, potential, radiant |
| form of energy involving the whole object moving | kinetic |
| form of energy involving the forces acting upon an object | potential |
| form of energy involving visible light and electromagnetic radiation | radiant |
| energy from motion or forces that affect the whole object | mechanical |
| energy from the motion and forces that affect atoms and molecules | nonmechanical |
| law that states that energy and matter can neither be created nor destroy only transferred | law of conservation of matter and energy |
| Formula for Kinetic Energy | KE= 1/2 mv(square) |
| KE that refers to the entire object moving | whole-body KE |
| KE that refers to the object not moving but changing positions | Translational KE |
| KE that refers to spinning around an internal axis | Rotational KE |
| True/False: Rotational motion is the same as circular motion | False (Is NOT the same as) |
| What 2 factors increase rotational KE | Increasing mass or speed |
| What 2 things can affect an objects rotational KE | Size and Shape of an object |
| Deals with the individual molecules that are in constant motion | Kinetic Energy of matter |
| energy formed from random motion in molecules | thermal energy |
| energy caused by disturbances moving through a substance | wave energy |
