Energy Review

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

Where is maximum kinetic energy found on a roller coaster?

Back

At the bottom of a big hill.

Front

What type of energy increases as molecules move faster?

Back

Thermal energy.

Front

What is work in physics?

Back

Work is a transfer of energy by a force to move an object.

Front

What type of energy does an electrical device use?

Back

Electrical energy.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy caused by the movement of particles in matter, resulting in heat.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food or batteries.
