🗑
The kinetic energy of an object can be found if the object's ____ are known.   speed and mass  
🗑
Thermal energy :   a measure of particle motion  
🗑
electrical energy :   the energy of moving electrons  
🗑
light energy :   the result of vibrations electrically charged particals  
🗑
When one object does woek on another, energy is   transferred  
🗑
Because woek and energy are so closely related, they are both expressed in   joules

🗑
At what point does a roller coaster have the greatest potential   the top of the biggest hill  
🗑
When rolling downhill, a roller coasters potential energy is converted into   kinetic energy  
🗑
The cleanest burning fossil fuel is   natural gas  
🗑
The United States' primary source of electrical energy is generated by   burning fossil fuels  
🗑
Petroleum was formed from the remains of ____ that were in shallow prehistoric lakes and seas.   organisms  
🗑
____ is electrical energy produced from falling water.   hydroelectricity  
🗑
____ is a well-defined group of objects that transfer energy between on another.   closed system  
🗑
Organic matter that can be burned to release energy is called ____.   biomass  
🗑

🗑
____ can be used and replaced in nature over a relatively short period of time.   renewable resources  
🗑
In a process called ____, the nucleus of a uranium atom is split into two smaller nuclei, releasing nuclear energy.   nuclear fission  
🗑
____ are energy resources that formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.   fossil fuels  
🗑
Some energy resources, called ____, either cannot be replaced after they are used or can be replaced only over thousands or millions of years.   nonrenewable resources  
🗑
If it were possible, a ____ would be a machine that runs forever without any additional energy.   perputal motion machine  
🗑
The ____ states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.   law of conservation of energy  
🗑
____ is a force that opposes the motion between two surfaces that are touching.   Friction  
🗑
An ____ is a change from on form of energy into another.   energy conversion  
🗑
____ energy is the energy an object has because of its position or shape.   potential  
🗑
The thermal energy of a substance changes eith the ____ of its particles.   kinetic energy  
🗑
____ is the ability to do work.   energy  
🗑
Name three renewable resources   water ; wind ; biomass  
🗑
Name three nonrenewable resources   coal ; petroleum ; natural gas  
🗑
Explain energy conversion   Energy conversion is getting the energy you already have and change it into a form you need. You can use machines to help you convert the energy. Although some energy during the conversion will always be lost th thermal energy.  
🗑


   

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.
