Chapter 15 Flashcards
The energy of motion
Kinetic
The formula for kinetic energy
Ke=1/2 mv2
Energy that is stored as a result of position or shape
Potential energy
An objects potential energy depends on
Mass and height
The potential energy of an object stretched or compressed
Elastic potential
Forms of energy
Mechanical, chemical, electrical, thermal, nuclear, electromagnetic
Law of conservation of energy
Energy can’t be created or destroyed
What does Einsteins equation suggest
Mass and energy together are conserved
Four examples of non renewable resources
Oil, gas, coal, uranium
An energy source that can be replaced
Renewable
Renewable energy
Hydroelectric, solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, nuclear fusion
When an object is raised to a higher level what potential energy increases
Gravitational
The motion of microscopic partials in matter partly determines
Thermal energy
Pole vaulter
Conversion
The ability to do work
Energy
