Energy

Work, Energy, Pendulum, Potential and Kinetic Energy, Calculating Work

QuestionAnswer
What are the three things necessary to do work? Force, Distance and Direction
What is the formula for work? Work = Force x Distance
What is potential energy? Potential energy is stored energy or energy at rest.
What is the formula for potential energy? Potential energy = Weight x Height
What is kinetic energy? Kinetic energy is released energy or energy in motion.
What is the formula for kinetic energy? KE = 1/2 x Mass x (Velocity squared)
What is the unit on energy and work? A Joule
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but transformed to other types of energy, such as heat or sound.
What are the five different types of kinetic energy? Mechanical, Heat/Thermal, Sound Waves, Electromagnetic Waves, Electrical
What are the four different types of potential energy? Elastic, Gravitational, Nuclear, Chemical
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A dam holding back a large reservoir of water GPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A ball hit off a bat. KE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A child holding a yoyo. GPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: An archer pulling back the string of his bow. EPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: Winding a watch. EPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A catapult loaded with a boulder. EPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A flowerpot falling from a windowsill. KE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A rollercoaster that has reached the top GPE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A moving stream. KE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A marble rolling across a table. KE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: An explosion. KE
Is this an example of GPE, EPE or KE: A skier at the top of a steep slope. GPE
How can you identify GPE? GPE is always stored or being held back. The height is involved. It is rested and not releasing anything.
How can you identify EPE? EPE is always stretched or winded back, ready to be in motion. It has pent up potential energy, but it is called elastic because it is coiled, stretched, and wound.
How can you identify KE? KE is always in motion.

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.
