Q3W7 Classroom & Quiz Essentials! Energy Unit– I can do these things! 1. What is energy and what unit do we use to measure energy? JOULES=1 newton of force moving an object 1 meter. 2. Explain what potential energy is and write out the equation we use to solve for it! PE = weight x height or PE = mass x 9.8 m/sec2 x height 3. Explain what kinetic energy is and write out the equation we use to solve for it! [pic] 4. Pick two types of energy transformations and describe them! Thermal Heat energy: it’s the atoms and molecules that make up all matter are constantly in motion. The particles of a substance that is "cold" are moving slowly, and the particles of a substance that are "hot" are moving quickly. The second one is Electric energy; it consists of moving charged particles (usually electrons). The moving electrons can induce heat, light, or magnetic fields to turn motors. Electricity is a type of kinetic energy. 5. Describe the law of conservation of energy! For any energy transformation, energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed. This law means that the total amount of energy in the universe is constant. When we use energy, it doesn’t disappear. It just changes to a different form. Energy _A___6. Work is a transfer of A. energy B. force C. mass D. motion ____ 7. What happens to the kinetic energy of a ball as it reaches its maximum height when thrown? A. The kinetic energy reaches its maximum amount. B. The kinetic energy reaches its minimum amount. C. The kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. D. b and c ____ 8. A ball is thrown in the air. When does it have its maximum amount of potential energy? A. At the bottom of its arc B. In the exact middle of
