NOTE: is not MOVING!!! GPE is stored

Question 9

Kinetic Energy is

Accepted Answer

energy of MOTION

amount of KE  is  determined by 
MASS
SPEED

Accepted Answer

Light energy (solar or radiant) is transFORMED into chemical potential energy

Question 11

Earth's TILT produces SEASONS because

Accepted Answer

it causes difference in how much DAYLIGHT different parts of the planet receives

Question 12

A peach that was hanging in a tree and then falls

Accepted Answer

had gravitational potential energy and transFORMS to kinetic energy when it falls

Question 13

In a circuit using a lightbulb and battery

Accepted Answer

chemical potential energy is transFORMS to light energy

Question 14

Earth's TILT causes seasons because

Accepted Answer

the hemisphere titled AWAY from the sun has 
*lower temperatures
*less daylight hours
The hemisphere titled TOWARD the sun has 
*higher temperatures
*more daylight hours

Question 15

A hemisphere is determined by

Accepted Answer

the part of earth ABOVE the EQUATOR is the Northern Hemisphere 
the part of earth BELOW the EQUATOR is the Southern Hemisphere

Question 16

Spring tides (the gravitational force on tides is stronger)

Accepted Answer

happens when Sun and Moon are aligned

Question 17

Neap tides

Accepted Answer

happen when the Sun is at a 90 degree or right angle to the moon 
the high tides are not as high and the low tides are not as low

Question 18

Low Tide to Low Tide 
High Tide to  High Tide

Accepted Answer

12 hours

Question 19

Why does the moon have a greater impact on Earth's tides than the Sun?

Accepted Answer

the moon is much closer to the Earth 
the Sun although much larger is millions of miles further than the moon from Earth

Question 20

If the axis of the Earth was NOT tilted

Accepted Answer

there would be no seasons (the seasons would not occur)

Question 21

If the NORTHERN hemisphere is tilted AWAY from the sun

Accepted Answer

it is winter for the NORTHERN Hemisphere,  while the SOUTHEREN Hemisphere is having summer

Question 22

If the SOUTHERN hemisphere is tilted AWAY from the sun

Accepted Answer

it is winter for the SOUTHERN Hemisphere, while the NORTHERN Hemisphere is having summer.

Question 23

Gravitational Potential Energy

Accepted Answer

relates to an object's location (position)....like a lamp hanging from the ceiling

Question 24

Kinetic Energy

Accepted Answer

relates to an object's motion

Question 25

Convert means

Accepted Answer

to change into (transform)

Question 26

Transfer

Accepted Answer

to move

Question 27

The moon has a _______________________ impact on Earth's tides than the SUN because

Accepted Answer

the sun is FARTHER away from Earth

Question 28

Earth's tides will be stronger (greater) when

Accepted Answer

Sun, moon, and earth are aligned (lined up) which is a SPRING tide.

Question 29

Low tide to low tide

Accepted Answer

12 hours

Question 30

High tide to high tide

Accepted Answer

12 hours

Question 31

High tide to low tide

Accepted Answer

6 hours

Question 32

Neap tide

Accepted Answer

smallest difference between low tide and high tide (not much difference)
Sun and Moon are at right angles or perpendicular to the earth
