| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| How can you increase the efficiency of a machine? | Reduce friction |
| Friction causes mechanical energy to be converted———-energy | Thermal |
