Q

what is GPE

A

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is a type of potential energy that depends on height (how far above the ground).

23
Q

Electrical Energy: Lightning, powering a phone.

24
Q

Nuclear Energy: Energy in the Sun, nuclear power plants.

25
What happens to mechanical energy due to friction?
Friction often turns mechanical energy into thermal energy (heat).
26
What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?
Energy can't be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
27
What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
28
How easy is it to destroy energy?
Energy is hard to destroy but easy to transfer or transform.
29
What does "What goes in, must come out" mean in terms of energy?
The energy you put into a system will equal the energy that comes out, just in different forms.
30
what are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and natural gas) store the Sun’s energy from ancient plants and animals.
31
single energy transformation ex.
A lightbulb turns electrical energy into light energy.
32
double transformation ex.
A car engine turns chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy (movement) and thermal energy (heat).
33
what is combustion
is when something burns, and energy is released, usually in the form of heat and light.
34
what is the difference between fission and fusion
is when something burns, and energy is released, usually in the form of heat and light.
35
formulas?
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity²
36
Gravitational Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height
37
Total Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy.
38
What does gravitational potential energy (GPE) depend on?
Gravitational potential energy depends on height.
39
What does kinetic energy (KE) depend on?
Kinetic energy depends on speed (velocity).
40
What happens to GPE and KE when a ball is at the top of a hill?
The ball has high GPE and low KE at the top of the hill.
41
What happens to GPE and KE when a ball is rolling down a hill?
The ball has low GPE and high KE while rolling down the hill.
42
relationship between energy and matter
Matter has a lot of energy in it, and there is a balance between energy and matter in the universe.
