2nd Quarter Review

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where parts of the circuit are on different branches, allowing several paths for the current to travel. If one bulb goes out, others still burn.

Front

What type of energy is stored as a result of stretching or compressing?

Back

Elastic Energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on the object's mass and speed.

Front

What type of energy warms things due to moving particles?

Back

Thermal Energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy in motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is an example of elastic energy?

Back

A stretched rubber band or a compressed spring.

Front

What happens in a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, all parts are connected in a single path, so if one bulb goes out, the others go out too.
