Question
Answer
Potential Energy   Energy that is stored and held in readiness. Potential energy has the potential to do work. (ex) turn a spring to wind up a toy  
🗑
Energy   The ability to do work or cause change (ex) wind has energy  
🗑
Elastic potential energy   Potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed (Energy to a bow by pulling it back)  
🗑
Gravitational potential energy   Any potential energy that depends on the height of an object (the force you use to lift and object)  
🗑
Kinetic energy   The energy of motion - Energy that an object has due to its motion - depends on both mass and velocity -. (bowling ball knocking over pins) It can be kinetic or potential energy  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   Is the energy associated with the motion or position of an object or moving parts (riding in a school bus)  
🗑
Thermal Energy   Is the total energy of the particals in an object (ice cream melting)  
🗑
Chemical Energy   Is potential energy stored in chemical bonds that holds compounds (like chocolate or wax) together  
🗑
Electrical Energy   Moving electric that produces electric charges or electrical energy - (like a shock from a metal doorknob)  
🗑
Electromagnetic Energy   Energy of light (microwave) and other forms of raditation (CT scans) which travels in waves.. The waves have some electrical properties and magnetic properties  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   A potential energy that is stored at the core or nucleus of an atom (Nuclear power plants)  
🗑
Two types of potential energy   Elastic potential energy and Gravitational potential energy  
🗑
Name the 6 different forms of energy   Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, Electrical, Electromagnetic, Nuclear  
🗑
Energy Conversion   Is a change from one form of energy to another. Any form of energy can be converted into any other form.  
🗑
Kinetic and Potential energy   The most common conversion of energy is potential energy changing into Kinetic energy  
🗑
The Law of Conservation   States that when one form of energy is converted to another, no energy is destroyed or lost in the process. Since energy can not be created or destroyed the total amount of energy is the same before and after any process.  
🗑
Friction   Is the force the one surface puts on another when the two rub each other - converts mechanical energy to thermal energy  
🗑
Conserving energy   Is saving energy and not wasting it.  
🗑
Fossil fuels   Coal, petroleum and natural gas were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals - fossil fuels are materials that store chemical potential energy  
🗑
Combustion   The process of burning fuels  
🗑
During combustion of fossil fuel What energy is converted   The chemicial potential energy is converted to thermal energy  
🗑
The energy that fossil fuels contain came from   The sun  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
