Potential and Kinetic Energy Types

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Kinetic Energy   Energy in motion (or energy being used)  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored Energy  
🗑
Gravitational Potential Energy   Stored energy due to position (increasing height or mass increases GPE) (example: a roller coaster at the top of a hill)  
🗑
Thermal Energy   Kinetic Energy - also called heat energy. Molecules are moving faster as thermal energy increases (example: heat from a fire)  
🗑
Motion Energy (mechanical Energy)   Kinetic Energy of physical movement - Increasing speed or mass increases KE (a roller coaster rolling down a hill)  
🗑
Electric Energy (current)   Kinetic energy - movement of electrons (electricity running to power your TV)  
🗑
Light Energy (radiant energy)   Kinetic Energy - movement of electromagnetic waves (light from a light bulb or the sun)  
🗑
Chemical Energy   Potential Energy - stored in bonds of molecules (examples: food, gasoline)  
🗑
Sound Energy   Kinetic Energy - molecules moving as sound waves (example: cheering at a football game)  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   Potential Energy - energy stored in the nucleus of an atom (Example: hydrogen in a hydrogen bomb)  
🗑
Electric Energy (Static)   Potential Energy - energy stored in a buildup of electric charge in an object (Example: shuffling your socks across carpet)  
🗑
Elastic Energy   Potential Energy - energy stored in a compressed or stretched object (example: a stretched out rubber band or a smashed sponge)  
🗑
Conservation of Energy   Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged  
🗑


   

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.
