Energy
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The ability to do work or cause change? | Energy |
What are the two basic kinds of energy? | Kinetic & Potential |
What determines if energy is considered Kinetic or potential? | If it’s transferred or stored |
Energy is measured in ? | Joules |
When an object or organism does work on an object what happens? | It transfers energy onto that object |
The energy of motion is called | Kinetic energy |
The Kinetic energy of an object depends on what two things | Mass and velocity |
How do you calculate KInetic energy | Mass x velocity(sq)/2 |
Does mass or velocity have a greater effect on kinetic energy? | Velocity |
Stored energy is known as | Potential energy |
Energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed is called | Elastic potential energy |
Energy that depends on height is called | Gravitational potential energy |
The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has is also equal to the work done to? | Lift it |
What is the formula to calculate gravitational potential energy | Weight x height |
A leaping frog is an example of what form of energy | Mechanical energy |
Melting ice is an example of what form of energy | Thermal energy |
Which form of energy is associated with the motion or position of an object | Mechanical energy |
All matter is made up of small particles called | Atoms and molecules |
Do atoms or molecules have potential energy? Kinetic energy? Or both? | Kinetic and potential |
When the thermal energy of an object increases its particles do what | Speed up and get warmer |
Which form of energy- the total energy of the particles in an object? | Thermal energy. |
Chocolate is an example of what form of energy | Chemical energy |

Light that you see is a form of what energy | Electromagnetic |
Infrared radiation is a form of what energy | Electromagnetic |
Microwaves are an example of what form of energy | Electromagnetic |
Energy stored in the core of an atom is a form of what energy | Nuclear energy |
The Sun creates a nuclear reaction called nuclear —blank— | Fusion |
A nuclear reaction when the nucleus splits is called | Fission |
Do nuclear power plants use fission or fusion reactions to produce nuclear energy | Fission |
Potential or kinetic- when you transfer energy to an object and you chang it’s position or shape? | Potential |
T or F- any form of energy can be converted into any other form of energy? | True |
A change from one form of energy to another is called an | Energy conversion |
T or F- mommy smells like burnt toast | True |
T or F-a series of energy conversions is usually needed to complete a task | True |
A toaster converts electrical energy to ———- energy to make toast | Thermal |
Your body converts ———energy in the food you eat into ———— energy to move your muscles | Chemical, mechanical |
Ultraviolet light is an example of what form of energy | Electromagnetic |
Batteries produce what form of energy | Electrical |
Power lines supply what form of energy | Electrical |
Moving electrical charges produces what form of energy | Electrical |
In an electric motor, ——— energy is converted to ———- energy that can be used to run a machine | Electrical, mechanical |
In order to heat your body, you convert ———- energy from food you eat into ——— energy | Chemical, thermal |
The most common conversion of energy is the conversion of potential energy to | Kinetic energy |
When u stretch a rubberband you give it what kind of potential energy | Elastic potential energy |
Any object that rises or falls experiences a change in its Kinetic and —— energy | Potential |
When you toss a ball in the air and it begins to rise, its kinetic energy begins to decrease but it’s ——— energy begins to increase | Potential energy |
Is energy destroyed over time? | No |
When u toss a ball in the air, what point does it reach its maximum potential energy | It’s highest point before it starts to fall |
Definition of law of conservation of energy stars that energy cannot——- | Be created or destroyed |
When one form of energy is converted to another form of energy how much energy is destroyed in the process? | None because energy cannot be created or destroyed According to the law of conservation of energy. |
A | |
The energy we use today from earth are in the form of | Fuels or fossil fuels |
What is a fossil fuel | Coal, gas and petroleum which were formed millions of years ago through geological processes |
How was coal formed? | Plants and animals died and were compressed under high temperatures in the ground |
Do fossil fuels create energy? | No, they store energy |
