CIA 3 Review

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, a pulled wagon at the top of a hill has potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. For example, a tennis ball rolling across the court has kinetic energy.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the electrical charge that builds up on the surface of an object, often caused by friction.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

In heat transfer, from where does heat flow?

Back

Heat always flows from the hotter substance to the colder substance.

Front

What is an example of increasing potential energy?

Back

Pulling a wagon uphill is an example of increasing potential energy.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A tennis ball rolling across the court is an example of kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to energy during a transformation?

Back

During a transformation, energy changes from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant.

Front

What is the difference between static and current electricity?

Back

Static electricity is a stationary charge, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation?

Back

When a light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy, it is an example of energy transformation.
