QuestionAnswer
What is energy? What is the SI units for energy? The ability to cause change and Joules
What is work as a physicist would define the term Work is for supplied through distance W equals FD
Describe the work done on an object when the force on that object, and the motion of that object are perpendicular No work is done
Compare potential energy in kinetic energy. Does a stationary car have kinetic energy. Does a flying Bird have potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy, kinetic is energy in motion
When a log burns on a campfire, what type of energy is the source of the combustion into what other kinds of energy is this energy converted? Chemical potential energy
How can a contact force generate potential energy? Raise it up
On the basis of the power formula, what change in condition can increase the amount of power No more work less time or energy
What happens to the mechanical energy of a book when you push a book across the table? Thermal energy
What is the law of conversion of energy and why is it a law and not a theory? Energy cannot be destroyed only transferred from one form to another
Which form of energy is the sun? Radiant energy
What form of energy is a galloping donkey? kinetic energy
Which form of energy is a megaphone Sound energy
Which form of energy is a hamburger Chemical potential energy
Which form of energy is a fire Thermal energy
Which form of energy is a climber climbing Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy
What type of energy is a nuclear power station?
Which form of energy is a electric cable? Electric energy
Which energy is a stretched bow Elastic potential energy
The amount of kinetic energy a moving object has depends on its mass and it—————— Velocity
The mechanical potential energy of an object depends on it—————- Position
The energy stored in foods and fuels is————— Chemical potential energy
The law of———— states the energy cannot be created or destroyed Chemical potential energy
A compound machine is a combination of two or more——__ Simple machines
The number of times the machine multiplies the effort of force is the————— of the machine. This is also the ratio of the output force to the input force. Mechanical advantage
You convert kinetic energy into thermal energy when you rub two sticks together because of——- Friction
The total energy of a system remain——— Constant
A car engine changes, chemical potential energy———— energy of the moving car Kinetic
———— is the rate at which energy is transformed Power
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf————-changes Gravitational potential energy
The energy due to compressing a spring——————- Elastic potential energy
How does a machine make work easier? It changes, force and changes motion and increase speed
List several types of simple machines Lever incline plane wedge, pulley ,screw,, Will an axle

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.
