Question 1

Gravitational

Answer 1

Movement, or a tendency to move, toward a cent of gravity as in falling of bodies to the earth/movement toward or attraction to something

Question 2

Radiant

Answer 2

Sending out light shining or glowing brightly/ of heat transmitted by radiation rather than conduction or convection

Question 3

Chemical

Answer 3

Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds like atoms and molecules

Question 4

Thermal

Answer 4

Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy. A whole branch of physics, thermodynamics, deals with how heat is transferred between different systems and how work is done in the process (see the 1ˢᵗ law of thermodynamics

Question 5

Nuclear

Answer 5

Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together

Question 6

Elastic

Answer 6

Energy stored in an object when there is a temporary strain on it/ compatible of being easily stretched or expanded and resuming former shape

Question 7

Geothermal

Answer 7

heat energy from the earth

Question 8

Sound

Answer 8

Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person’s or animal’s ear

Question 9

Hydroelectric

Answer 9

Relating to or denoting the generation of electricity using flowing water (typically from a reservoir held behind a dam or other barrier) to drive a turbine that powers a generator

Question 10

mechanical

Answer 10

steam, water, wind, gas, or liquid fuels that power turbines

Question 11

Series Circuit

Answer 11

All of the electrical current flows through each part of the circuit

Question 12

Parallel Circuit

Answer 12

The current is divided into separate paths

Question 13

Power Source

Answer 13

Pushes the electricity through the circuit

Question 14

Connector

Answer 14

Connect all parts to create the path for electricity to travel through

Question 15

Load

Answer 15

The thing that is being powered by the electricity in a circuit

Question 16

Control

Answer 16

Turns the power on or off (Creates a closed, or open circuit)

Question 17

Rube Goldberg Machine

Answer 17

A chain reaction–type machine or contraption intentionally designed

Question 18

Pulley

Answer 18

A wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used (typically in combination) to raise heavy weights

Question 19

Lever

Answer 19

A rigid bar resting on a pivot, used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load with one end when pressure is applied to the other

Question 20

Wheel and Axle

Answer 20

A simple lifting machine consisting of a rope which unwinds from a wheel on to a cylindrical drum or shaft joined to the wheel to provide mechanical advantage

Question 21

Wedge

Answer 21

A piece of wood, metal, or some other material having one thick end and tapering to a thin edge, that is driven between two objects or parts of an object to secure or separate them

Question 22

Inclined Plane

Answer 22

A plane inclined at an angle to the horizontal/a sloping ramp up which heavy loads can be raised by ropes or chains

Question 23

Screw

Answer 23

A short, slender, sharp-pointed metal pin with a raised helical thread running around it and a slotted head, used to join things together by being rotated so that it pierces wood or other material and is held tightly in place
